Even if the Estonian crown will remain a symbol of independence, the majority supported the changeover, despite the difficulties he meets euro crisis in Greece and Ireland. People see the euro in the first place one less obstacle for foreign travel. There are, however, and Estonia who were against adopting the single currency. "Estonia is like a passenger who took the last ticket on the Titanic," says one of them. Moreover, even Prime Minister Andrus Ansip said that Estonia is now the poorest member of the Eurogroup and have made further efforts to meet requirements. Authorities deployed a vast campaign about the euro, so there's no problems with the transition from the single European currency Estonian crown. Even before the end of the year was an increased inflow from banks, people greeted the changeover calm, there were no queues at ATMs, preferring to pay by card.
