As a point of interest why do Germans pronounce the new EU coinage as Uro and often spell it Uro?

I am confused as I have a German coin here and it is clearly spelt EURO?

There is no entry in my small German / English dictionary for Uro but I note that EUro nestles comfortably between EUrige & EUer [meaning 'Yours' & 'Udder' respectively]- is this an implication that money is close to your heart as a German woman? ;-))

I note from the EUro coins I have, & I am also confused as to why, the EUro coins have a map containing Britain, which most definitely is NOT a part of this experiment in 'a POLITICAL currency' [I quote the UNELECTED head of the EU, Romano Prodi!!]

I also notice the anatomically flaccid appeal of the EUro to Scandinavia!!!

I could not work out what this strange map is all about, so I phoned the ubiquitous EU Help line - you will not be surprised 'Nor could they' though they did hazard a guess that it was not a map of the EUroZone but of the EU - in which case where are all the assorted colonies of France that the French fiddled into the subsidies of the EU by calling them EU territories etc.

On closer inspection the flaccid penis hanging sadly at the top of the map, showing Sweden's enthusiasm, from a deformed scrotum, depicting Finish inclusion, dangles disinterestedly above the rest of EUrope, which is cast adrift in an endless sea. What the three tiny islands off the South coast of Gibraltar are, in the middle of what should be the Sahara, is beyond me. I note also Gibraltar's inclusion in Spain where Portugal is delineated!!! So also is there a clear line across Britain, high above the Scottish border, unless this is a reflection of the designers lack of knowledge of geography aimed at denoting a shrinking Scotland - as ever Wales does not exist!!

As a numismatist with 20 years experience as a coin and banknote dealer I can think of few less inspiring coins which are as cheap looking as the notes are bland - perhaps Romano Prodi was implying more when he said 'the EUro was a political decision' - coming from an Italian a prophecy about politics can only be seen as VERY short term!! Italy having had over 50 Governments since the war. One is forced to wonder if Mr Prodi's new political experimental currency will last as long as an Italian Government.

One must applaud the wisdom of the French in deciding to stockpile their old Franc notes, for I believe 12 years, and Germany for having increased its Gold holdings from 7.1 Billion about 2 years ago to some 35+ Billion now. One is forced to wonder if this is to refloat the Mark when the Political currency of the EUro follows Mr Prodi into obscurity with the speed of an Italian Government.

It will come as NO surprise to you to note the German EUro coins carry the symbolism of the German Imperial Eagle - nothing new there then!! And the bank notes nowhere give an undertaking of their value signed by any individual or bank - featureless, bland and nameless but I doubt in the long run they will be blameless, worthless yes, blameless no!
