Actually, I dont think as many as you think will care too much.

I imagine many people already spend Euro's every year with trips and/or holidays.
I have them in my wallet right now, from my last holiday, ready to spend later this year.

The euro works pretty much the same - 100 cents/pence makes 1 Euro/Pound, so not hard to understand.

Of course, we'd all need new keyboards, with a Euro symbol on Shift+3

My fear would be how much people would use it as a 'rip off' excuse to hide price rises by converting at inflated rates. Something that happened (I believe) the last time we changed currency in 1971. I have no desire to be back in the EU, but conversion to Euros would not be a stopper (and never was).


I also found out today that one British Territory actually uses the Euro as its currency (Akrotiri and Dhekelia).
