11/28: New Euro money



The rest of the world makes better money than the US. This is the new Euro currency, and once again it's colorful and bright and not at all like the boring-looking greenback.



But there's a problem with the coinage. A study found that two of the coins above have too much nickel in them. So much that five minutes of contact with these coins could produce "hand eczema", producing inflammation and itching, for those people allergic to the metal.

Even the US "nickel" coin isn't prone to cause such things.

The new money comes out in January.
