Yes, we have Euro Cent, with 1,2,5,10,20+50 cent coins, we also have 1 euro and 2 Euro coins, with €5, 10, 20, 50 100, 200 + 500 notes. P.S. Officially we should say 2 Cent, not 2 Cents, and 2 Euro, not 2 Euros - like the plural of sheep is sheep! Here in Ireland, as the only English speaking country in Euroland we still say cents, indeed we still say "a few Bob" and " a few shillings" etc etc. Glad I could help with any question! I fear I cannot with most technical ones! Alan Groves, Senior PCB Designer CID Spectel Head Office, 21 Stillorgan Ind. Park, Stillorgan, Co. Dublin. Ireland.

If there is substantial ripple current, as in a switching power supply, the I squared R losses will cause the core to overheat, spewing electrolyte and launching the can like a projectile. Quite impressive the first time you see it (I highly recommend safety glasses). Organic polymer Aluminum electrolytics are much better behaved at low and high temperatures and have even lower ESR's so you often can use smaller capacitors. In addition, they do not dry out, as all standard Aluminums will (that's Aluminium for my Euro colleagues). They also happen to cost three to ten times as much but they beat the heck out of tantalums for equivalent price. My dos centavos, anyway. This is OT, but what is the Euro equivalent of two cents? Is there a coin for 1/100th of a Euro? If so do Europeans regard it with the same reverence that we have for our pennies? For instance, many stores here have bowls on the cash register where customers can leave their valuable pennies rather than waste the effort of putting them into their pockets.

Mainly the reason is, that the aluminum electrolytic will loose 50% of the rated capacitance a -40 degrees C. At -55C it is worse. This then also is true for industrial applications. I just looked for the article that I am referring to and couldn't find it, so I am attaching it.
