If the Euro fails a new Scandinavian Currency might be a possibility.

Denmark, Sweden, and Norway would do well to consider some kind of federation. Their economies are all doing well and with some cooperation could forge a strong hub of trade and high standards of living, even more so than it is already.
I am okay with this, especially if it's called Vikings.
Sounds cool.

Good on you, it seems like a sound plan.
[QUOTE=mac338;32971225]Aye, I propose no union - rather, re-naming the Norwegian, Swedish and Danish kroner to the Danish, Swedish and Norwegian viking.[/QUOTE]That would still be a monetary union, like the Eurozone. Unless you want separate currencies: Norwegian Viking, Danish Viking and so on.
[QUOTE=Lazore;32971183]we in norway are not a god damn part of the EU, we aint changing shit[/QUOTE]
What that you say?
you wanna be invaded?
Well ok, but only since you asked so nicely.
Viking is such a ridiculous name for a currency... Just call it Krona.

But Viking sounds more awesome.
YES! I actually feel glad about this as us scandinavians in europe stand strongest in economically stabibility, free healthcare, school, dentist, public services, low corruption, high GDP and GNI, high taxes. Why not work that better and further making a stronger bond strong prosping economy of the scandinavian values and mentality we have and espcially so we wont be having to bailing out southern european countries like greece, italy, spain and portugal because they they don't wanna work for 7-8 hours a day, they're lazy and many of them don't pay their taxes + government corruption!

Meh I think every country should go back to their own currency. A unified system will always cause problems in my eyes.
I have always supported the idea of a strengthened relationship between the Nordic countries. And I have got to agree, paying in Vikings would be badass.
Fuck you, EU.
Fuck EU.
Fun fact; The european union comes up with 3,6 laws a day.
And it is mostly stupid nanny-state shit, like how sharp a knife kan be. How sour an orange can be...fuck this.

And pray, could you provide a source for this idiocy?
As to the original topic - seems more of a could be if shit happens scenario more than anything else. Overall I wouldn't be surprised if a few smaller unions would show up where the EU to fail. This being one, the V4 another etc.

Say that to my face in hólmgangr not online see what happens
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;32970815]I don't really think Finland would really deserve to trade in "vikings" considering in the viking times we were a bunch of depressed farmers who didn't do shit
To be fair that's what we still are minus the farmer part[/QUOTE]
That kinda goes for the majority of people living in those times anyway, for every brave stalwart viking there were dozens of regular farmers and herders who didn't do much apart from farming dirt
[QUOTE=sp00ks;32972710]you mean kroner[/QUOTE]Krona, krone, króna... Same name, different languages.

You're kind of disregarding how the farmers fought against raiding vikings from hillforts and sometimes joined them.

Wow you're such a chav. If the EU actually joined together without everyone stroking onto their independence so hard, we would be the largest economic and military might in the world.
Edit: But if that doesn't happen I'm up for a unified nordic currency.
If this goes through, I will transfer all of my emergency funds to a Scandinavian bank, just so I can say I have a few thousand Vikings ready in case I need them :v:
Then what would we call the ears that we have now? Mini-vikings?
"That would be five and a half vikings, please"
[QUOTE=mac338;32970732]Who the fuck invited Iceland to our money party?!
Either way, 1000 vikings would be way more badass then the dickslapping 50 ears and 20 crowns I have in my wallet at the moment.[/QUOTE]
Hey, I thought we were buds.
Holy shit, if this happens. It'll be amazing.

Can you guys make a space program? That would be the coolest!
Vikings in space.
Well this certainly made my day! :haw:

Dude, you got us grounded just because you were caught smoking.
Besides, the last time you had money you gave away more dosh then you had so the repo-folks had to take away your TV. We've forgiven you for the smoking, but you ain't joining our money-party until you become more responsible, okay?
Well, if Canada ever goes to shit (i.e. several conservative majorities in a row) I'm either going to Sweden, Norway or Finland.
Wow, great way to confuse tourists.
" May I take your order? "
" 10 chezburgers, double fries "
" That'll be 250 vikings. "

It's not like they aren't confused now, our currency is called 'crowns' and 'ears'
