The Eurasian Eura is the currency of the United Kingdom of Eurasia, along with the Eurasian Empire, which comprises the UK and all of its colonies. Prior to the 1992 inception of the Eura as the official currency of the UK, the British pound sterling along with the Chinese yuan were accepted as legal tender, and HM Treasury had no monetary policy. However, Alexander Saakashvili, then Prime Minister, realised the fundamental problem of that system: it places Eurasia at the mercy of those two nations. To celebrate Saakashvili's creation of the Eura, he is featured on the ₰100 banknotes. The slang term for the eura is the the squig, in reference to the somewhat unique and bizarre symbol utilised for the currency.
Denominations
The eura comes in the following denominations:
- 1 (grey)
- 2 (red)
- 5 (white)
- 10 (silver)
- 20 (indigo)
- 50 (yellow/gold)
- 100 (violet)
- 500 (tan/khaki)
- 1000 (pale rose)
There are also a series of stainless steel coins, which come in values of:
- 1p
- 5p
- 10p
- 25p
Characteristics of the eura
The Eura is printed on a polymer-PETX composite skin, so that the money cannot be ripped, scrunched or bent. This gives the illusion that the paper is printed on actual plastic. The money will still show signs of disfiguration, but tests have shown that polymer-based money like the douro stands up to wear and tear for a lot longer period than other forms of currency. Security features for the eura include: intaglio, offset and letterpress printing, latent images, micro-printing, intricate background patterns, optically variable shadow images, optically variable ink, diffraction grating, transparent windows, and a variety of security threads. Each bill also has a braille strip for usage by the blind.
