This will miss many conversions such as 10 => 2 2 2 2 2 (not catered for by %subs) and 20 => 5 5 5 5 (not catered for by the single iterative substitution approach).

    But...there isn't a 2 euro note, per the original OP (I wouldn't know...I'm a dumb American). The breaking of a 20 into 4 5's is valid, though.
