    Centime is not "official" anywhere. "Lepto" and "sentti" are
    official, as is the Spanish/French/Portuguese plural "euros", which
    just goes to show how STUPID this cock-up has been.

    You'd think it was funny, except for the constant broadcasting of the
    s-less plurals by the Irish media.
