Personal observation: I've just spent a week in Greece. The *ONLY* coins
and notes that can be - or are - used are Euros. No debate.

However, it is commonplace to see items dual-priced in both EUR and GRD.
Some things are even priced *only* in GRD. And the symbol "GRD" is in use
(as well as @RX, where @ stands for a capital delta).
