Message:: [QUOTE="ErolGarip, post: 2868577, member: 88736"]What they did by setting "Euro" and dividing it to 100 "Cent" can be explained better by money::wheat analogy with respect to countability. Unit "Euro" corresponds to, say, a Handful of wheat grain, where "handful" can be considered as "unit" and yes, that unit "handful" is countable. But, this unit "handful" is commercial unit in monetary system, it is NOT the unit of money itself. In this "money::wheat" analogy, the unit of money itself corresponds to each wheat "grain". Suppose there are 100 "grains" in 1 "handful" of wheat. Take 1 "handful" wheat in your one hand and take 100 "grains" in your other hand. Scientifically, the both hands are same, but, there is difference between these two hands, the difference is "work". Here, "Euro" as unit which corresponds to the unit "handful" of grains is a "commercial unit" of monetary system, it is not the unit of money itself. The unit of money itself corresponds to the unit "grain" of wheat. This is objective unit while commercial unit is subjective as "handful" may change depending on "hand sizes" of people. That's another reason why I call "cent" (which is the real unit of money  corresponding to "grain" which is the real unit of wheat) is locally universal.[/QUOTE]
