Less than 40 days to e-day, when the euro becomes Malta's currency, telephone operators answering questions about the euro are still occasionally facing questions one would not expect at such a late stage.
One caller, for example, asked whether Gozo will also have the euro, whether Maltese euros have the same value as foreign ones and whether one can use Maltese euros abroad.
A survey with businesses carried out for the National Euro Changeover Committee last August showed that 98 per cent of respondents knew that Malta would be adopting the euro. But what about the remaining two per cent?
The plastic cards with an image of the €20 on one side and a euro converter on the back, which are being mailed to households together with a leaflet showing the security features of the euro by the Central Bank, has been well received by most.
But some are mistaking the plastic cards for real euros or for some kind of card with which they would be able to withdraw money from ATMs. The distribution of euro converters has generated a number of questions.
Many wanted a second converter and claimed they did not get the first one. Some were found to be faulty, were set with the wrong rate, and were re-set or replaced.
But it is not just the man in the street who has converter-related problems.
Opposition Leader Alfred Sant wrote in It-Torca on Sunday that the one sent to him did not have a battery, and the one his mother received only worked for a minute because its battery ran out.
Contacted for a reaction, Parliamentary Secretary Tonio Fenech said that if Dr Sant's converter was not working properly, it could easily be changed.
"What I find amusing is that a person aspiring to be a Prime Minister fails to realise that the euro converters have a battery built into them, and that the calculator switches off after a short while when not in use to save the battery's life.
"But as I said, if it is faulty, as some were, it will be replaced," he said.
He added that the plastic coin at the back is not a battery, as some have assumed, but something one uses to release the locks on supermarket trolleys.
