Luc Frieden, Luxembourg’s Finance Minister, said that the currency could move on without Greece, but added: “I still think we should do our best to keep the eurozone with all of its members.”

Money is a good readily acceptable [not; imposed by guv’mint] in exchange by everyone in a given geographical area and is sought for the purpose of being re-exchanged.

May the euro go underground in Greece..
At the end of the day, Greece will have saved, nay rescued, the euro.
Greece will have severed the euro’s link to the Frankfurter bureaucrats.
Ad nauseam
The euro is the first currency that has not only severed its link to gold, but also its link to the nation-state.

Yes,
euroland will have to thank Greece for having rescued the euro from the Frankfurter bureaucrats.
