*sigh* I should have simply written € 0.02 (or rather €
0·02?), but even then I guess you guys would be discussing
about the correct place of the currency sign and whether
there should be a space between the sign and the price or
not. I guess some would even report to not be able to see
the C with the two slashes but instead only a rectangle etc.
pp. It seems they forgot to devise an abbreviation for "Euro
Cent" when they introduced the Euro. Herealands you see it
either as <0,02 €> or as <2 ct>. I don't know if it was
official, but the consensus was IIRC that you abbreviate
"Pfennig" (0.01 deutschmark) either <Pf> or <Pfg.>. You
didn't get anything for DM 0.01, though, a chewing-gum cost
DM 0.30. It would have been easiest if I had written "my two
cents".
