  1. Oh, that brings back such happy memories of the time I spent in the disintegrating Czechoslovakia – a disintegration that I cannot but feel I had a minor part in bringing about!


  2. Alec Salmond’s magic socialist money tree?

    It would be quite fun watching the Scotch EuroPound inflate itself into a Weimar frenzy. I vote “aye”.


  3. I do agree with Michael here, it is a very pretty banknote. Noen also of the pretentious self-regarding pomposity of the British State is putting on people like Stephen Fry, or whoever that lady is on the back of the fiver.
