    Estonia 'can adopt euro' in 2011 - EU Commission

    BBC News - Estonia 'can adopt euro' in 2011 - EU Commission

    (That's the currency, not the EU). They must be better off than most of the other euro countries, whom I'm not sure many of which would be qualified to join these days

    Final decision expected June. One of my tasks is a change project for this.

        Yes, why not? There's still a Rouble isn't there?

          I came across an unverified assertion yesterday which said no fiat currency has lasted more than a human lifetime (100 years I guess) and another that said that period was only 37 years max. I didn't find any reliable sources (or look that hard) though. The general idea being that fiat currencies go pop surprising quickly.

            The way things are going there may not be a euro in June!
            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              Something related to your 'Germany leaving the Euro' speculation:

              Sarkozy Threatens To Pull France Out Of Euro | zero hedge

              He just wanted his own way, banging fists on table, wanting France's banks bailed out with other people's money (UK's preferably), etc, usual stuff.

                But Berlin denies it. I expect it was just a made up story.
