Yes, that is a smart move, except the Scrooge I know would replace one
of the coins in the
bin with Euroes. But good that he's allowed to keep eg. the
Geluksdubbeltje (first dime). 
But he will be sorry to part with all the other coins - as he knows
them all as friends - even 
if they were originally Dollars (but that's the dutch way, to have them
in guilders, the dansih 
publisher does that too). 

WE dicussed this a bit on the duckhunt-mallist - I'll make a summary
here if wanted. - 
we came up to thinking that the ducth publisher thinks more of their
readers than of 
the fans. And after all, shouldn't they do exactly that?
