MORE ON EURO NICKEL ALLERGIES

  Gawain O'Connor writes: "In response to Martin Purdy's
  comment about euro allergy hogwash -

  The article about euros in the Sept. 14 issue of "Science
  News" shows a photo comparison to the nickel Swiss
  franc coin.  The pure nickel coin stays intact in their
  solution. So it appears that the bi-metallic aspect is what
  causes the problem, not the amount of nickel.

  The online version can be seen at

  But it certainly could be that the study was prompted by
  bias against the new euro coins, as Mr. Purdy suggests."
