Hang on to them for when the Euro crashes!! seriously, they can be exchanged at the Cyprus Central bank until about 2018.

This link may help:

The central bank is to the west of the old town of Nicosia. You can cross over via the pedestrian crossing at the Green Line near Debenhams, but unless you have lots of Cyprus Pounds and only notes I would question whether it was worth it.

john,



according to many experts the euro is ultimately doomed,

(spain for example owes more than £825 billion to french and german banks)

...but france and germany say they will never allow it to crash



how can these two statements ever be reconciled?



well, frau merkel now hopes germany will lead the northern states

(finland france denmark germany benelux) into a new euro-currency,

while leaving all the others including ireland to their devaluing old euros



you couldn't make it up
