This guy makes rather a good point, methinks: US author Jeffrey Robinson, who wrote The Laundrymen book about counterfeiting, branded euroland politicians the "morons of Brussels" for allowing a 500-euro note to be printed - the equivalent to £315. He stressed this would allow criminals to put £1million in euros into a single briefcase, making it much easier to move "dirty money" around in order to launder it. Mr Robinson said: "It's the height of insanity for law enforcement. There will be tidal waves of counterfeit euros. It will be a Disneyland for organised crime." I agree...if something costs over 100 Euros, the currency of choice should be 1oz Krugerrands. Much harder to counterfeit or debase by criminals and central banksters alike!
