Euro

More and more European countries adopt the Euro as currency. This new year, Slovakia has adopted it. After the former East Germany, as part of Germany, and Slovenia, it is the third former communist state to adopt the Euro. I wonder if Sweden will adopt it anytime soon?

Paula and Daniel will receive monetary compensation from the humans who will take care of my pups, once they are old enough. This compensation will be paid in Swedish Crowns, not in Euros. These pups will just move to other parts of Sweden, though. There has been talks about future pups of mine moving to Finland, where Euro is used as currency. If this happens, perhaps the compensation for such a pup will come in Euros. It would be easier to have the same currency.

On the other hand, Dad came from Norway, Mum, April, and Calvin from the USA, neither of which uses the Euro. Changing the Swedish currency to Euro could make it easier to trade with Finland, but not really with Norway or the USA. The USA will never swap their Dollar to Euro. Norway is not even a member of the EU and will probably not do it for the foreseeable future. If and when Norway and Denmark changes currencies to Euro, I guess Sweden will as well.
