#1 There is no Deutschmark right now so 'pricing' is just a feel-good exercise. But it might not be a bad thing for Germany to have a regional currency that the stronger, northern European countries would either use, or peg their own currencies to, just as some countries peg their currencies to the dollar.

Sample Neu Deutschemark. The very idea of putting Von Bismarck on it would make thousands of leftists collectively poop their pants.

#4 Most Germans would bring back the DM in a heartbeat.
Unfortunately that wouldn't solve a thing since we'd still be forced to bail out the rest of Europe (until we go broke ourselves)

#5 Brits keeping the Pound - seems like it was a pretty smart idea, eh?

#6 If the Deutschemark came back there would be a fest the likes of which has seldom been seen in Germany. It might go on for WEEKS!

#7 Good job making Germany pay onerous reparations never backfired in the past.
