Broadly speaking, I really can't see what good it does for the Euro nations to be part of a political and monetary union. Politicians only make life more complicated. As far as money is concerned, computers used to convert their former floating national currencies quite seamlessly, with the speed of light. Since WWII the Europeans had a good thing going. Life was good and getting better... enslaved Communist nations gradually became liberated, and were joining the party... Unfortunately, a bunch of politicians and bureaucrats decided that this was their opportunity to become the "uniters" and rulers of Europe. Their design for the new supernation was characteristically complex, with thousands of pages of new laws and rules. Unsurprisingly, it proved unsustainable. People started taking nice rides - at other's expense. Now, like all previous Euro empires, it's coming to an end. Let's just hope that the separation will be relatively peaceful and bloodless.
