IIRC the UK and Denmark decided not to change to the Euro yet, Greece
doesn't meet the requirements (basically, their economy isn't up to it
according to the EU), and Belgium and Italy are only just in. Germany is
definitely in AFAIK, at least as far as the government is concerned; all
they need to do is convince the people in the street, and that's usually
done in this part of the world by adopting something and forcing people to
use it :)
