Germany may have the advantage of one Euro being one DM (come t think of it, it doesn't), but in Britain, we are destined to go through 6 months of dual currency. It is therefore essential that our cash registers refer to money tendered in Euro / UKP. and change given in Euro / UKP. I am firmly of the belief that this is all academic, in that any countries participating will be bankrupt in 6 weeks.
