Right.

Except that Germany had to consent to stay in, otherwise reunification 
would not have been allowed.  Considering that this was probably 
intended to keep Germany week (which didn't work at first, but might be 
now), it would be frowned on, to say the least, were Germany to try to 
get out of the Euro.  (The majority of the population has ALWAYS been 
opposed.)  I don't know what would happen if we just did it.  Would 
someone declare a war?
