According to various news reports, it was worth about €30 when it came out a little over two weeks ago. It buys a loaf of bread now. The government has just announced that it is lopping off twelve zeroes off the currency, and that all old currency will be declared worthless as of June 30th.



I can wait.

30 euros for a loaf of bread? Did Whole Foods open a store there?

No, the buying power went from 30 euros to a loaf of bread (which I'll guess costs on the order of one or two) in two weeks.
