Money
How could 100 million Euros have been given in aid? The Euro was first introduced in 1999. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.91.147 (talk) 21:54, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Why does that matter? Money is convertible, if it said US dollars, does that mean that only US dollars were floating around in Italy? 70.29.213.241 (talk) 05:40, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Milliard
What's with the billion/milliard nonsense? Yes I know that the UK (where I am from) and a few other English speaking countries considered 'billion' to mean '1,000,000,000,000' in the past but nowadays all people and organizations in the English-speaking world use 'billion' to mean '1,000,000,000'. Even in Britain, Bill Gates is considered to be a billionaire rather than a milliardaire. I speak Italian and in Italy this value is known as a milliard but that's not the point - this is an English language Wikipedia and hence why this is called an earthquake rather than a terremoto!--Xania talk 22:45, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
