Thanks Dave - never really knew the history of the Euro before.

Slightly OT, I was in Italy and France last year and there isn't a paper 1 Euro. They have coins in 1 and 2 Euro increments. Initially I didn't think I would like that but after a few days of being there I think it's a great idea and we should get rid of the US paper $1 and go to a coin.
