As far as I know, nl_NL is using the EURO, and need to use a charset
capable of representing the currency symbol. ISO-8859-1 is not able
to represent the EURO symbol, so these countries need to use a locale
with a different charset.
Dutch should because of this use the nl_NL@euro locale, not nl_NL.

work. Trust me on that one. :)
