You paid fl 10 (guilders) for 4 beers, fl 2,50 per beer. A little while after the euro was introduced, soon 4 beers were ?10.

?10 is fl 22.

I am all for Greece doing this, the eurozone needs to fail, it's one big fuck up.
Very true. The price of ski passes in slovakia went WAAAAY up when they entered the euro, because of course you cannot have a 9 euro ski pass - it has to cost more.
