We never had our own currency anyway....

Punt was pinned to Sterling then ERM and then euro

Looks like those Central Bank authority to conduct a foreign exchange transaction forms will be making a comeback....

The Euro saved us from the banking crisis striking here the same way it hit Iceland, UK, Serbia, Hungary, Latvia and several other countries. The UK didn't need IMF aid, but Sterling collapsed and hasn't recovered since.

If we lost the Euro, not only could we not spend our money in half of Europe, but the punt would last about 5 minutes before there would be a run on it. That's one thing we don't have these days because of the safety net of the Euro.
