Only in euro land could this be contemplated.

Economics 101 – Supply and Demand.
Aa s supply of 20 of something is lower that the supply of 80, demand for the 20 should be higher than the demand for the 80, everything else being equal.
Please note economics is based on the principle of “Everything else being equal”.
However in this case the ECB know the price of everything but the value of nothing.
Does Draghi think hes a celebrity?
Why would anyone WANT his autograph? Misery Broker
Just goes to show the ego of these clowns. Signed by Mario Draghi, I mean flippen hell?!?!
Coz a mint €5 note signed by the chairman of the ecb is worth a heck of a lot more than €5… And you would whine even louder if the nominal value if the prize was bigger.
This is tooooo funny. €5 for the winner with it signed by one of the Mario Brothers and the loser gets €10. You couldn’t make this shit up
So the winners get five euro then. Jesus wept.
1st prize €5.
2nd prize €10.
Wish I’d entered now and came nowhere. I’d probably get thousands.
A new €10 note? Great, another 6 months – 1 year of vending machines not taking €10 notes.
Isn’t his signature on all €5 notes anyway?
Ye it’s on all the notes. The fact that these fivers are personally signed means they are collectors items worth a few bob. The fact the tenners are the first run means they’ll be worth a few more to collectors too. But on the face of it yes, first prize a fiver second prize a tenner! Wonder could we pull a similar trick on the ecb……. we COULD pay you back your 200billion but how about we pay you the better price of 50billion and we’ll say ye won a prize!
Joke!
Reading this article makes me think:”who gives a s**t?!” Another non-story from The Journal.
