EURO ALLERGIES - HOGWASH?

  In response to the item about health effects of the new Euro
  coinage, Martin Purdy writes: "This isn't the first time I've
  heard  this story, but I still can't help being skeptical - were
  similar symptoms noted (or similar studies carried out) with
  coins of pure nickel such as the Swiss 20 centimes (1881-
  1938)  and most types of Canadian 5-cent coin from the
  1920s to the 1980s?  It has all the hallmarks of a scare
  tactic intended to aggravate public uncertainty about the
  new coinage in Europe."
