Greece prints all $10 Euro notes today. Anytime Greece prints more Euros than what is authorized, the excess is considered an instant debt owed to the ECB.

I'm sure they are happy to fish in these troubled waters but I don't see Russia as having engineered this "destruction." Europe has done that for themselves very well.
