Well, unfortunately I am neither of them, however billions of Lire would be totally fine for me, after all
I guess it is going to be a bit messy here in the old continent, for a while. Still, for those like me who are also used to think in dollar terms it is not going to be THAT bad. What I am gonna do for sure is to go to the round the corner bancomat on Jan 1st and see if they give me Euros already... But I am afraid there's gonna be a line of stupidly curios people just like me .
Thinking of the size, Italian Lire come in quite small banknotes, smaller than Euro banknotes, actually. I'll have to buy a new wallet! See, these small changes are what I actually dislike about the new currency, as well as the fact that, compared to Lire, Euros will be slightly more... "coin-oriented", forcing ppl to carry more coins with them, which I simply hate and always tended to avoid. I guess most people will use bancomat whenever they can...
