Good point Waynos, plenty of Greeks are sorry they left it so long to get it out too, besides the taxing (about 60%??) heavy restrictions were put on ATM withdrawals - something like only $70 per day was allowed. And for the ones who had stuffed their cash into safety deposit boxes thinking that was a safer bet, I read somewhere that that money was ordered by the government to be taken to ensure enough cash was available for ATMs and the safety deposit box holders' accounts were topped up digitally.

Gotta appreciate a totally random comment Whippingboy :-)

With no cash the bankster run Gov's can easily rob your savings with a bail in. Australia now has the legislation set, where your bank only has to guarantee up to $250k, anything above is up for grabs and can be taken from you in a collapse like those in Cypress.

Just like the Canadian government did in March, and just as Europe, the USA and the UK have now done, the Australian government too is now beginning to make good on its 2010 G20 commitment to implement the Goldman Sachs-chaired, internationalist Financial Stability Board’s new regime for bailing out the banks using depositors’ money.

So anything above $250K you say?

I think I'll sleep OK then....

There is much less than $250K in my super bank account.
