Cyprus and Malta to introduce euro
Posted Sunday, December 02, 2007, 9:28 PM by Lonely Planet
It's out with the Maltese Lira and the Cypriot Pound as the two countries switch over to the Euro on January 1, 2008. With Malta and Cyprus on board there will be 15 nations and 318 million people using the currency.
Regular travellers to Cyprus and Malta are urged to use up or exchange their leftover local currency before it becomes redundant. Using the Travelex Cash Passport is another option as it allows you to keep your leftover foreign currency for up to three years.

Imagine being in a coma, with $100,000 USD worth of local currency stashed away somewhere. You eventually wake, but to only realize that, due to the switch over to the euro, your money is now redundant! :P That would make a cool start for a short film ;) Remember to credit me!
