You paid fl 10 (guilders) for 4 beers, fl 2,50 per beer. A little while after the euro was introduced, soon 4 beers were €10.
€10 is fl 22.
I am all for Greece doing this, the eurozone needs to fail, it's one big fuck up.

You have to admit the idea of the Euro is good and solid. It had to make traveling in Europe much, much easier. I could only imagine the cluster fuck it would be if in the US we had a different currency in every state..
One money exchange rate has a lot of benefits, but obviously there will be problems to go along with it..
