Other developers please correct me, but that's what I know: 

At the moment EURO and DEM are considered as totally different currencies, 
at least when you try to transfer money. The current way of transferring 
money would be to have another currency account which "exchanges" the 
money between DEM and EURO. However, those two currencies have a fixed 
exchange rate which is not appropriately represented right now. Where 
should we start changing? Add currency accounts with a fixed exchange 
rate? Exchange EURO currencies on-the-fly?

Or should we just say "You won't have that problem (fixed exchange rates) 
anymore after Jan 1st, 2002, so we just ignore it for the remaining 8 
months of 2001?"
