French MP revives proposal for 1 euro bill

I am not a fan of the Euro - nor am I ever likely to be. I have always believed that a feeling of national sovereignty is linked to a national currency and I know many people in the Eurozone who still miss their own currency.

This story that they wish to now introduce a one Euro note to rival the US dollar is therefore somewhat amusing. If currency is not important to national identity then why would having a one euro note make a difference?

In passing, I recently noticed how much like the euro symbol the pound sign has become on the new £20 note - except, of course, it is a mirror image! Cynical plot or accident?
