    There was something in the news today about some guy saying the UK would need to print £1 trillion if the Euro collapses.

    Ah, here it is:
    In addition, Fathom Consulting warned a disorderly default in the eurozone would trigger a recession requiring an extra £1 trillion of additional quantitative easing in the UK to keep to inflation targets.
    Eurozone ministers fail to create €1 trillion bail-out fund - Telegraph
    Frying pan/fire.

    Yeah, I think the & will be stable as from now; not sure about the $ and the Y though.

    Now then , which country uses the ampersand as legal tender? I need to know what to ask for.

    Even if this Italy vote goes well, people will continue to sell off Italian bonds as the weakness has been identified.
    I don't think there's any going back.
