I appreciate the sheer gumption. They should have doubled down and just called it "money". Plural "moneys". How much is it? Seven moneys.
Actually, now that I think about it I know at least two countries that arguably already do that, so... you know what? Euro is dumber. Love it.
But that, explicitly with 'money' is english cultural imperialism. Would never be accepted in france etc.
Could always just have defaulted to whatever the word for "money" is on that language, all at once. Go nuts. I mean, once calling it "Euro" is on the table there are no bad ideas anymore.
