In Germany they use "Taler" and "Kreuzer" (old currency in Germany
until the 1870s - as far as I know) instead of Dollars and
Cents, the Euro hasn't changed anything.
I think they decided not to use the German currency when the first
Disney comics came up here in the Fifties (well, first
they were using "Mark" and "Pfennig", but that suddenly changed after
a few months), because they wanted to show that "Entenhausen" isn't
situated in Germany.
On Scrooge's money bin there are always his German initials "DD" (Dagobert Duck),
so nothing has changed since the Euro is the new currency.
