<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Euro, post: 1086095, member: 28879&quot;]Very interesting. I never knew New Found Land was once independent and returned itself to Britain so to speak. This indeed seems extremely similar to the Netherlands Antilles that in a totally peaceful manner (it didn&#039;t even have the civil unrest New Foundland had) simply abolished themselves. Thanks for the info.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for the currencies, yes. It&#039;s comparable but not the same. The two Chinese SARs have a very high degree of autonomy in all areas except for foreign policy and defense. Basically, they are countries within a country. The three Dutch islands have no such autonomy: they are simply part of holland and there will be very little exceptions. Exceptions made hardly transcend municipal level. In that respect I do think it&#039;s a bit strange to then have 2 currencies in what basically is just 1 country instead of several country-like area&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
