Case objects vs Enumerations in Scala

Question

Are there any best-practice guidelines on when to use case classes (or case objects) vs extending Enumeration in Scala?

They seem to offer some of the same benefits.

For those still looking how to get GatesDa's answer to work: You can just reference the case object after declaring it to instantiate it:

trait Enum[A] {
  trait Value { self: A =>
    _values :+= this
  }
  private var _values = List.empty[A]
  def values = _values
}

sealed trait Currency extends Currency.Value
object Currency extends Enum[Currency] {
  case object EUR extends Currency; 
  EUR //THIS IS ONLY CHANGE
  case object GBP extends Currency; GBP //Inline looks better
}
