No run on the banks on Monday
 
The german government just said it would guarantee for all private deposits people hold in the banks.

This is to prevent a bank run next week. Hope it helps...

In any case be prepared, who knows.

I would trust my (US) government's guarantee 100%.

After all they just have to print-up more money so it's no big deal, just some ink, paper and alittle overtime for the workers. :( Regards, Walter

Well, I'll be checking a few ATMs now to see if they're out of cash and hopefully get a few 1000€.

Mucky: I believe Rome did something like that ~200AD except they added cheaper metals to their silver and gold coins.

That's about when they got into that 'Decline' part of the Roman Empire. Regards, Walter
