€0.01

As I spent time on the dock staring at Andrey Melnichenko's beautiful sailing yacht, I tried explaining to my friends how interrelated these two two things were, as I had been in country for 2 weeks and not once had I seen the coin that was supposed to represent the value of a cent in Europe.

To be fair, I have only now been to one country in Europe but that should not change the fact that either the Euro is becoming so meaningless that the cent is not commonly used or that European countries vary so significantly in economy that some countries will discount the cent and round to the nearest 5 and others not.

My friend was kind enough to gift me a €0.01 cent coin later on in the day (after returning to their place and having to look for it), which told me they do in fact exist - I was jokingly complaining that it was a ruse.

I'd be happy to learn if other countries in Europe utilize the cent more. In the meantime, here's the boat so you can think about it a while to.
