3. And the history has shown that while Euro was great for some countries, it was terrible for others.

4. Remember how you had to change your currency every time travelling abroad. **Thank you, Euro.**

5. As long as there’s no federal government the Euro will continue to be unsustainable.

6. They should have issued a special 25 € banknote for the occasion.
