# Currency
This is pure scare-mongering with a dash of Torygraph spin for good measure:
Scotland may be forced to join the Euro as the price of independence from the United Kingdom, Downing Street warned today.
Same waffle as Greece being 'forced' to leave the euro. What legal mechanisms exist to prevent another country from using your currency? I guess you can get a bit cross and shout at the ambassador and tell the border guards to be especially nasty but other than that, what can you really do (genuine question) and what do you gain from it?
As I understand it, Salmond and co have said they favour joining the euro anyway. They'd be fools to do it but people were pointing this out 10 years ago and look where we are now.
