Some (like Casino Austria) will go for the short pain and switch over at midnight. But others will introduce the Euro € during the month of January.
Now for Belgium I know for shure, they had 50Bef minimum on the roulette, this is €1.24 so they already are going to €2 minimum. Like that their turnover will be more...
Now for the denominations I guess, 1, 2, 5,10,25,50,100 and then plaques up to ???
We have to wait and see. It going to be interested times.
Now for the destruction of the old pieces, yes 99% will be destroyed. To avoid mix ups and people trying to cash in after the conversion. I am begging some casino's to at least keep some of the beautifull plaques they have, but have NOT MUCH response.
I know for my collection of Europe, I have to start over again... which I don't mind.
Again wait and see...
Take care and kind regards,
