Shouls Britain join the Euro currency.

[WelshLad]

12/15 European Union countries adopted the Euro when it was introduced. I know its 25 countries now but they've only recently joined the EU. Anyway should the UK adopt the Euro? France and Germany etc. all gave up their currencies.

The British pound sterling is something like 60p (100p is a pound) to the euro.

To put things into perspective, if you have 2 US dollars, i give you £1 in exchange.

no i meant like i didnt know how much welsh money is worth. is the british pound sterling welsh money?

The Euro and the pound are stronger than the dollar, however the pound is stronger than both. So i think we should stick with the pound, unless the Euro economy get's more efficient and products are worth their price.

The pound is worth much more than the dollar and the euro. We should keep it because if we did swap to the euro we would lose a lot of money in the change over and we would lose the high value of the pound.

Not entirly, trade between EU countries would be far more efficient as we wouldn't have to pay high exchange rates for products from countries with very strong currencies.

Also it would be really useful to go abroad, as there would be no need to exchange money in europe.

However your right, the Euro is too weak for us to change too right now.
