Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

From Mr V. Sutton-Vane

Sir: The name for the proposed European currency unit should be short, pronounceable in the various languages, have no connections with past or present currencies, and be non-religious.

May I suggest the "Eunit", which seems to meet the above requirements. It would be divided into 100 "Eubits" - computer buffs would say 1,000. The abbreviation would be the "E", with the Escudo becoming the "Es".

As for a symbol for the currency, may I suggest the Parthenon representing Greece, where the whole thing is supposed to have started.

Yours faithfully,

V. SUTTON-VANE

Sturminster Newton, Dorset
