Euro-Cent

The content of the article Euro-Cent is as follows:

The Euro-Cent is the currency subunit of the Euro. There are 100 Euro-Cents in a Euro. The Euro-Cent coins were first struck in 1999, but these were kept in storage until the change over to the Euro on the 1 January 2002.
Slovenia is the latest country to issue Euro-Cents, as it changed over to the Euro from the Tolar on 1 January 2007.
A few countries have issued private pattern Euro coins, which usually contain Euro-Cent denominations. These are not officially recognised, but are of interest to some numismatists.

If any of this is verifiable and not redundant, please add it into this article, probably at Euro#Coins_and_banknotes. Anthony Argyriou 12:12, 15 October 2007 (CDT)

Capitalization

Not sure if this is the result of a find-and-replace action, but the word euro is not capitalized when it is the first word of a subtitle in this article. Is there a reason? It looks rather strange. Eric Winesett 23:49, 10 November 2007 (CST)

When we list countries in which the Euro is used we should either make clear that it is also used in other countries (like Monaca) or make a complete list. Christian Kleineidam 20:36, 26 February 2008 (CST)
