God, I hope not. I took out my first Euros just after midnight. Drunk people were lined up at ATM's to see if they worked. Then I turned around and spent my first Euro on beer at the nearest nachtwinkel. If this was going to be one of those moments I tell my grandchildren about, I'd have tried to be more sober for it.
