  1. Before 5 years of upbringing, I belonged to the Order, being brought up on symbols, where Euro or Europe was my symbol, manifesting itself as a "baby cradle", a stamp (semicircle) and so on. In time I graduated from the 129th high school of Kiev, my classmate was Oleg with the surname "Misevra", and according to the school program there was no "European Union", as well as England was a peninsula, and the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II had a son named Dmitry. I turned 32 years old and everything around me changed, came and reevaluation to the surname "Mis Euro". or "Mi with Euro". The most interesting thing is that this surname does not change anything at all, as it is not and was not originally in the state registry of birth, as well as there is no certificate of completion of 129 secondary school in Kiev with entry in the same state registry for this surname. According to Oleg Misevra, he married Irinka and they had a daughter, who will naturally "marry" and change her surname, taking the surname of her spouse. That is, and "ends in water" with "Mis Currency".
