The Euro Is Finished: Reporter Catches First Glimpse of Drachma in GreeceBy Joshua Krause A reporter for Bloomberg stayed at a hotel in Athens from June 28th to July 4th, but when they charged his Visa debit card, the online statement didnt show his charge in Euros. Instead, it was recorded as Drachma EQ. Even stranger, it was in name only. The number of Drachmas he was charged was exactly the same as the number of Euros he would have paid. The reporter contacted the companies involved, which included Visa and Citigroup, and their representatives seemed genuinely confused by his statement. The next day, his financial statement went back to being listed in Euros. So far, neither company has offered an explanation for the mistake for lack of a better word. While the world debates and prognosticates the fate of Greece and their currency, someone in the financial world obviously believes that theyre going to ditch the Euro soon. I suspect that theyre confident enough to be prepping their computer systems for the currency transition, and may have accidentally started a little early. Do they know something we dont?
