That's not young at all. How much trouble did people have accepting Euro in 2011?



A government mandate certainly helps a currency develop.


Arguably scepticism towards the Euro as a currency and Britain wanting nothing to do with it after the crisis was a key pillar of Brexit, so I wouldn’t say it went down amazingly. I remember during the campaign there was a fairly widespread notion that an overly Europhile government like Tony Blair’s might irreversibly commit the UK to the Eurozone, which was always an act that polled terribly.
