If ever I saw a 'news' item with snow on its boots, it is the above, which was found, or invented, by the Sunday Express.
In the first place, producing a run of new currency involves thousands of people, whose wagging tongues would soon produce something more solid than a mere rumour.
In the second, Deutschland would hardly shoot itself so painfully in the foot at a time when its leaders are desperately trying to prop up the moribund euro.
In the third, should the Mark come back into circulation,the Germans would face no task more onerous than simply over-stamping the existing euro note with the new value, much as they continually did during the past (and future?) Weimar republic.
