Throughout his career Graham Hill won many purses, in many different currencies. However, between winning the 1966 Indianpolis 500 and three consequtive USGPs at Watkins Glen, Hill was forced to deal with a lot of dollars. Here, Hill is seen on the way to his first payday at Watkins Glen, in 1963, driving the BRM. Photo: Pete Lyons

Apparently the new Euro is a success. Friends from overseas tell me the changeover to a single, common currency in 12 of the European Union’s 15-member nations has gone smoothly.

Pardon, if I wipe a tear.
