Why not just print some cash?

[5intheface]

Why not. It does seem we bought Anglo Irish using IOUs

Garland? Green? Printing dodgy money? Extradition? Can't be, can it?

[Icemancometh]

Nice one.

If you get one person to take a five trillion euro note, let me know

I used to work in fraud, and I remember reading about a case where someone had convinced a loan manager to grant them a rather large loan. As collateral, he provided a scanned picture of a million dollar note. It was a photoshopped one dollar bill. The crazy thing is it worked, he got his loan and fecked off. Never underestimate people's stupidity.

Why dont we print serial numbers from say some crap country like Greece or France, then the EU will never know. Pay off every loan in the country and play it all innocent to the ECB

Sounds better than any plan I've heard from our great government recently.

Could be. But it's not. For the record

And when anyone questions how Ireland got the money we can Do a Bertie and say

"We won it on the horses guv, honestly. You can ask me Bookie at Paddy Power"

[FutureTaoiseach]

It would lead to hyperinflation meaning our money would become worthless.

This is great, I laughed. It could work. We'd have all the secuity watermarks, smells, silver strips and codes from scooby doo on it and no-one would believe the greeks didn't do it, as they are considered bogey anyway.
