The quickest, easiest way to make a quick million was to jump on a plane to Italy and upon arrival change some money into lira at the airport. Instant riches!
Could those days be set to return?
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in the UK Telegraph (yeah, AEP … love him or loathe him):
- Beppe Grillo’s Five Star movement has launched a petition to drive for Italian withdrawal from Europe’s monetary union and for the restoration of economic sovereignty.
- “We must leave the euro as soon as possible,” said Mr Grillo, speaking at a rally over the weekend.
- “Tonight we are launching a consultative referendum. We will collect half a million signatures in six months – a million signatures – and we will take our case to parliament, and this time thanks to our 150 legislators, they will have to talk to us.”

Go Grillo!
Don’t ask me for an unbiased view, K? My argument is ya can never have enough currencies. (Common market good, common currency … not so much)
