A basket of currencies was mooted in one of the articles, if you take the time.
Similar to the forerunner of the Euro, the Ecu.
There _are_ alternatives to the dollar, no matter the self-serving Anglo-Saxonian fantasies. The lack of QE/money printing activity within the Euro area at the moment is actually a strong argument in its favour.
The history of Euroland will ensure the unity of the Euro, no matter what. If you've ever been around and seen the dark-tourism sites/bullet holes/burned out buildings as memorials that remain... You'll get the point. No-one in Europe has forgotten what happens in a fractured Europe and to the components of supranational bodies that split up. Watched 'Death of a Nation' recently?

I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place." - Winston Churchill, 1937 --{ORLY?}--
