When they determined the exchange rate of EUR 1 = DEM 1.95583 exactly, I wonder whether they were thinking of 7 sqrt(2/(3 e pi), of e^(5/8)/(log(2))^(1/8), or of e^(-1-1/e+2 e-pi) sin(e pi):

7 sqrt(2/(3 e pi))~~1.955826081; e^(5/8)/(log(2))^(1/8)~~1.955828942; e^(-1-1/e+2 e-pi) sin(e pi)~~1.955868037
