Dude may be a great economist, but he clearly has no idea about ergonomics.
Like what, every store has to have twenty different cash drawers? This idea is _spectacularly_ poorly thought out.
- nationcrafting 11y agoI'm not sure. I was in Maastricht for a few months in 92 when the treaty was being signed. Maastricht is a border town between Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Every bar and restaurant I went to, every market stall, and many shops easily accepted 3 or 4 different currencies. Today this would be even easier, since so many people just pay with plastic.
