today for the first time i held a one euro (or "öro" for the austrian at heart, heheh) coin in my hand. just to let you know.

it looks quite ugly. like its paper siblings do. it is just much heavier, unlike its soon-to-be ancient uncles. but hey, it's just money. it does not have to be beautiful. it's good to have it. no need to worship.
