New Drachma coins for Greece?

After the referendum on Sunday, Greece might reintroduce the Drachma. Here are some ideas for new Drachma coins:

**The blank area after the denomination is intentional - it will allow the Greek mint to stamp more zeros onto the coins in case of hyperinflation!**

I very much doubt that they have money or resources to mint new coins and print new notes so they will probably stamp drachma denominations on greek euro notes or they will take another loan...
If they choose to leave the Euro, it will be cheaper for them to mint new coins than paying for Euro coins to stamp..

Although I think it is far more likely that they will take out another loan!
With a somewhat more than average left-handed government I think they might chage the designs to a more socialist ones. If it was a mild hard right-handed one the president would surely put his face on the new coins.

It seems like Greece rejected austerity...

Let's see what happens now!
I would be very surprised if they leave euro currency or union.
It is too expensive for both sides and also, they really have no plan to do so.
They will negotiate another loan on other terms and the show will go on.
This vote is a warning to Germany that austerity and prudential monetary policies don't work with southern europeans. This culture clash can only lead to devaluation to keep the EMU together (think of how many hundreds of billions in writedowns or printed money is needed to make those public debts sustainable again) or Germany needs to make a choice and leave the Euro itself. The only monetary union that would work on Germany's terms would be with the Austrians, Dutch and Danish, and perhaps even Polish and Baltics. Even the Swedes prefer devaluations over austerity, and so do the Finns.
Do you know David Wilkerson's economic vision? Hopefully that was just a nightmare!


I have a vacation booked in Greece after few weeks so it is interesting to see what's happening there now.

bring alot of cash and everything will be fine.
Believe me, it wont happen. :D  B)
Cents are money too!
I think they will just be like Montenegro and Kosovo which are just users of the Euro.
I have a Greek euro cent to trade lol

I very much doubt it. We got the euro…. If we leave the euro zone i think greece will face again an economic crisis. But they really cool maybe we could ad them to the national side of the Euro.🪙

Greece = the Zimbabwe of southern Europe!

 

That is what happens when politicians think about themselves instead of serving the people of Greece!

 

If King Constantine II had not been deposed from his throne, then Greece would have been in a better economic state than it has been for many years.

No offence to the creator but they look horrible. I think the lettering should be aligned with the edge, not the design.
