The Euro or € is an order of currency designed to unite Europe by having all European countries share the same money. Except for Britain. Which kinda screws up the whole point a little, doesn't it? The coins themselves depict many historical events from Europe's past, including The Plague, beheadings, and gruesome bloody murders. Originally, these coins were filled with chocolate, but were replaced with all-metal coins when the consumptions of some lower-denomination coins started to adversely affect the Euro's exchange rate.
