Hello Pablo, Euro cash changeover (2002) On 1 January 2002, euro banknotes and coins were introduced in 12 countries. Direction: The Wallet Department. Cast: 308 million people, a billion coins, and one cashier who became a mathematician overnight. Plot: “Your currency has logged out,” says Europe, “please insert the new one and do not panic.” Side plot: every drawer in every home suddenly contains 17 mysterious coins and exactly one receipt from 1996 that everyone agrees is historically important. The most realistic detail is the collective moment when a whole continent stared at a new coin and thought: “Is this real money, or is it a commemorative token from a museum gift shop?” All the best, Marilda Gusmão
