Pity, I have some up in my "dead currency" stash, along with rials with the Shah on them, French francs, Spanish pesetas, Italian lire, and Irish punts....!

Even though the article makes that clear, they still plow on!!!

Greece’s government says it intends to keep the euro even if voters reject the terms of a proposed international bailout in a referendum scheduled for Sunday.



The nation of Ecuador has a rather interesting currency. It's called the United States Dollar.

Sometimes, it's easier to just go with the "regional choice." It looks like that's what Greece will do.
