I am tremendously fascinated by people who can speak more than one language fluently, and switch back and forth rapidly. Spending a couple of weeks with German speakers has helped. Sometimes I think there is no hope for me, that I am eternally mono-lingual. It makes me think of friends like Barbara Naess and Dan Kai who can pick up a new language between dinner and bedtime with immense awe. The different money is fun and I'm a little disappointed that it is going away.
Some money seems fake, The money in Germany and England is very serious.
I have also had fun with the coins. There are so many interesting and weird coins. The Deutchmark is still a very nice coin, and the English one pound coin is still one of my favorite coins in the world. There are many different backs to the one pound coin, and they all represent one of the four countries in the Kingdom.
