Do you use both the one and two with regularity?</p><p><br /></p><p>Another feature the Euro notes have that I find interesting is the different sizes for each denomination.

In the US we now have quarters with reverses showing each of the 50 states and a few territories but everyone I know thinks of all as US coins. You are no more likely to see a Virginia quarter in Virginia than in any other state. If you take 100 random euros out of circulation in your country will most be from your country or will they be a random mix or other nations?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
