How does a cheap Euro make the import of resources from outside the Eurozone cheaper, steel, aluminium etc.?

Contrast with the Euro where the highest coin is €2 and bills start at €5.

The Euro actually appreciated massively between 2000 and 2008 as the German economy recovered [1].

Minimal coding, of course, so if you used the Euro sign you had to use Latin-15, if there was no Euro sign in your posting, you had to use Latin-1.

The idea that he was the richest person in history sounds very euro-centric.

I know the London market well but find it hard to find any decent Euro contracts.

Imports might be part of the picture, but VW's 45% of global staff that is employed in Germany will still draw German Euro paychecks.

Detroit would suddenly see its cars become more difficult to export, while Tennessee's would become cheaper (just as Eastern Europe's under the Euro counterfactual).

Why would you not want a 3,000 euro interest-free one-month loan?

Here in the Netherlands contract developers get about the same, between £400-£600/pd (actually between 70~90 euro/hour) but cost of living is way lower than in central London.

Biking in northern Europe is OK -- if the roads are ploughed, you have the right clothes and winter tyres (2 * 60 Euro for my bike, shudder.

A fictional "German Euro" would still appreciate relative to the "not German Euro", yes.

His prediction – “it’s likely the institutions will seek a quick compromise to avoid serious damage to themselves and the Euro” – turned out to be fairly inaccurate.

Fascinating story, if only Germany had started producing cars in 2000 with the introduction of the Euro.

The negotiations of the past weeks have shown that not only Greece was bluffing about leaving the Euro, but that other countries would be more than happy to let them leave.

EU single-market integration was a similar process, and has delivered improved standards in many areas of life (note: I'm not talking about the Euro, but EU-wide regulation on safety, worker rights and so on); TPP looks like a simple money grab, a rush towards dismantling what is left of European-style welfare.
