Estonia: Crowns, euros, roubles… and chaos
11 August 201035 Eesti Päevaleht Tallinn
In the Estonian town of Narva, situated on the Russian border, the coming changeover to the euro (on 1 January, 2011) has already created discord among the members of the Russian-speaking community. It would seem that Tallinn authorities somehow neglected to inform them of this event, which has pleased bankers no end, as they extract a maximum of profit from the confusion surrounding the exchange rates of the crown, the euro and the rouble.
