"Do you think that ONE of these 60% have thought ONE MOMENT of the benefits the Euro has brought?"

People were traveling across Europe and paying for goods and services long before the euro was around. Have you - personally - thought ONE MOMENT of the problems the euro brings to the table for Eurozone nations, especially as new and potential members come in for a landing?

Right, and I remember very well these times. It was the time when I paid 30 DEM fees for a remittance to a bank 120 miles away from me, but in a different country. Today, if I do the same, I pay zero to the bank. I´ve come to the conclusion that the benefits overweight the disadvantages, such as one interest rate given by the ECB. Or tell me, why has the US one currency, and not 50?
