Porno-Euro is Legal-Tender

Germany was on the alert over counterfeit Euro-notes imprinted with pornographic images. The notes, meant to be sold as a joke, soon began to circulate as legal tender. A costumer at a shop bought two cartons of cigarettes worth 66 euros and received 534 euros in change when he paid with a 600 (legally inexistent) Euro note. The German police immediatly blocked the circulation of the Porno-Euro, explaining during a press conference, that there are no legal 300, 600, or a 1.000 euro notes, those in circulation were fabricated jokes, in any even the couterfeit notes would be easly recognizable from the legal ones because in the legal ones, the word-denomination is Euro, not Eros.
