Business Daily has been out on the streets of Tallinn, the Estonian capital, to find out what Estonians think of the nation's new currency and Justin Rowlatt debates the economic implications of Eurozone memebership with Helen Veiper, who is on the board of the Estonian Trade Council, and Gustav Horn, the Director of German Institute of Macroeconomic Policy.
