People in Austria say "fünf Euro, 35 cent. Most people pronounce the
latter word /sEnt/ though some, especially older people will say
/tsEnt/, which seems to be a reading pronunciation because of <c> being
the letter /tse:/ in the German Alphabet.

>>Concerning the "stuiver", "dubbeltje" etc. in the
Netherlands, those terms are indeed a thing of the
past, the currency is called "Euro", pronounced with
the Dutch "Eu" and you will get "tien Cent" back, not
a "dubbeltje".

How that works in Germany, Belgium etc. I don't know
but I have the impression it will be pretty much the
same.<<
