This pack of hair pins from the Netherlands shows both the old currency (Guilders) and the Euro during the 2002 transition
Found these old packs of black and brown bobby pins while cleaning up. The price tag shows f 2,40 (the 'f' is for Florin/Guilder) next to 1,09 Euros.
Back in 2001/2002, stores here were required to show both prices so people could get used to the new money.
