That does not explain the text in the caption where it is stated that
Scrooge *is* Grandma's brother.

I never looked at it that way. Interesting. That may have been the reason
for a colourist in the 40s to come up with yellow coins.

I just wondered (again) what the editors will do when the gulden is replaced
by the euro.
(Last time I wrote about this, a Scandinavian sceptic wrote "that will never
happen" - which shows the big gaps between various European countries, even
today...)

How many European (non-British) children like to read their comics in the
