Heroes fought and died fighting countries that are in the EU today. Obviously you can't have them on the banknotes.

As for the smaller countries- well let's face it do you think anyone in Europe gives a shit about Dutch or Estonian history and culture? Its France and Germany all the way down I'm afraid. At least we still have the veto.

Maybe your heroes did.

And no one gives a shit about the (18 million) Dutch, but we picked Bertha von Suttner.

Yeah I am not a europhile who wants to deny the last 1000 years happened and start singing kumbaya. Want to know why? Because I don't believe it.
