LITHUANIA-EURO-GAYS-CURRENCY-OFFBEAT
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY VAIDOTAS BENIUSIS
Lithuanian 10-Litas banknotes are seen in Vilnius on January 2, 2015. Lithuania abandoned the litas when it became the 19th country to adopt the euro at the start of 2015 but at least one of the old bills is still in vogue, a gay activist said. Vladimir Simonko, co-founder of the Lithuanian Gay League, told AFP the 10-litas note -- which features two pilots in uniform -- was being traded in gay circles in Western Europe for as much as 10 pounds sterling (12.80 euros, $15.30), which is about four times its value at the current exchange rate.
