Especially when you consider that a several sets of plates (used in printing) for the new Euros are already missing, along with several loads of their "special" paper. At least that's what I heard on a news-blurb on the radio a few months ago (it may have been as long as a year now, I don't quite remember) and as a humorous little snippet on Paul Hary. For those that have heard Paul Harvey's show, and know his understated humor, imagine him reading the tag line ". . . we don't know what happened to the plates. They were on the plane when we took off."
