Well, I don't necessarily think that's the case, since my understanding
is that the "@euro" modifier refers to the characteristics of the locale
setting as opposed to the details of economic zones.

However, given that you're a citizen of the EU and I'm not -- and
particularly given American media empires work very hard to ensure that
U.S. citizens know nothing of the world outside our country except when
it's time to grandstand with our military forces -- I'll defer to your
judgement on this issue.

At least until someone comes up with a better argument.  :)
