[edit] "Ein Kuh"?
From the article:
- Another was its similarity to Ein Kuh (German, a cow).
Nice, but not correct - "a cow" is "eine Kuh" in German, which isn't all that similar to ECU anymore. Maybe it's "ein Q" ("a Q") instead? (the letter Q is pronounced the same as "Kuh" in German)? I'm not sure myself, and I haven't heard this at all, but "ein Kuh" is definitely not something a German speaker would say, and should be corrected. -- Schnee (cheeks clone) 02:40, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

- Jein. It depends on the dialect. Some dialects would say "'ne Kuh" and "'n Ecu", however, the E in "ne" is not stressed, whereas the E in "Ecu" is. samwaltz 08:43, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Table
A few years ago I'd seen the composite table computed with exact currency units (62.5 German pfennige, etc.), rather than relative weights. Would anyone have anything against my adding that to the table? samwaltz 21:48, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
