The internet, and especially gold forums, are getting excited over the possibility of very big news from Germany this Friday.
As reported by a Zero Hedge contributor, a forum post at GoldLikeProductions from a user identifying himself as a Deutsche Bank employee, suggests that the big news to be announced this Friday as stated by German politician Gregor Gysi at a recent press conference may be that Germany will announce a return to the Deutsche Mark, eliminating the Euro as their country’s currency:
From a forum post by an Anonymous user:
I’m working at the Deutsche Bank in Germany. Today we delivered 1 container with new Deutsche Mark notes and new coins. I will present a photo from the new banknotes tomorrow morning. The curencychange will be the night from Saturday to Sunday 5/16/2010. On Friday, 19.00 GMT Angela Merkel the germany chancelor, will speach to the german nation.

Yeah right.
And I’m sure someone will make a lot of money off it too.
Serious bull****.
If true, this will be a bummer for 0bummer and his NewWorldOrder and GlobalDomination.
Never doubt German Engineering.
LOL.
In Bible prophesy, the feet of clay and iron are incapable of holding together. I forget the reason why the feet are seen as Europe, but it’s been my take since my youth that Europe would never form on unified body for an extended period of time.
It’s interesting to watch. For the life of me, I can’t quite grasp why established nations would agree to see their sovereignty dissolved.
There is some more interesting discussion about this subject here:

The comments after the article are particularly interesting.
There are rumors on this coming from a number of different directions. If (big if) this is true, Germany may just save us all.
A great rumor indeed, and if it proved to be true the consequences will be immediate and severe, especially for the PIIGS.
Stranger things have happened.
Not going to happen. The Krauts are the Frogs ***ch.
This has internet legend written all over it.
The ship deserting the sinking rats. Is it possible?
Its on Denninger site too. Not even Mr. Denninger believe it.
The New World Order rocks at the prospect.
Probably won’t happen though.
But a German politician did ask why German workers will have to work to 75 so Spiro and his pals can retire at 50.
An anonymous rumor doesn’t mean very much.
But there are a few straws in the wind that might be moving Germany in that direction.
1. The two German members of the EU central bank voted against the Greek bailout.
2. Obama twisted Angela Merkel’s arm to make her go along, and as a result she looks like she’ll soon be out of office.
3. The Bundesbank has a long history of relative economic stability, compared to the rest of Europe.
4. The German people have been buying gold like crazy.
Finally, if Merkel wants to stay in office, she’s got to do something dramatic. Otherwise she’s gone.
Republican congressmen are also raising the issue, and will push to pass an act that will prevent US money from going into the bailout. Obama certainly won’t agree with that, but it will be tough for him to argue that a trillion in American bailout money should go to help Greece, when our country is going down the tubes with enormous debt.
So, rumor, yes, but not totally out of the question.
This sounds likea rumor by someone that just invested in gold or one of those scam emails that circulate.
This is a scam announcement.
Could be,...Germany could easily survive.
Stierrückstände
More than like, it is just a rumor to kick up the Gold prices which thrive on rumors.
Overnight this weekend seems a little sudden, but eventually European countries will not want to be drug to the bottom by their neighbors, and will go back to separate currencies. The EU may not necessarily survive what is lurking in the future.
Rediculous, even if they did something like this it would take years. First they would have to figure out how to redenominate all the EUR debt.
“I can’t quite grasp why established nations would agree to see their sovereignty dissolved.”
Because they didn’t have a choice or had drank the cool aid.
Ireland voted it down. They were told they would have another chance to vote.
They were insane to join the Euro in the first place. the Deutsche Mark was one of the strongest currencies; how in God’s name could it NOT be dragged into the mud by their screw-up neighbors? WTH were they thinking? That’s like unifying the Dollar with the Peso and being SHOCKED! SHOCKED! to see financial chaos a few years down the line.
Only in government does the natural order of things mean, “No!” means certain eventual “Yes”.
Really wishing that OPEC had tied the price of oil to the Euro as they were threatening a year or two ago.
The Mexicans would never be that stupid.
No way, not yet. The EU will totally collapse but not yet. They will go back to the more natural order of individual states with their own currencies.
I wonder who...
I believe that what you are remembering is the description of the statue that Daniel interprets. Head of Gold, arms of silver, torso of bronze, legs of iron, and feet of iron mixed with clay.
The two legs are Rome, and the Roman Empire, both west and east. I have long wondered if the entire Roman Empire will be what arises and be the feet of clay mixed with iron. That would include North Africa, Egypt, Turkey and others.
I know it has long been thought that the EU would be the ‘feet of clay’ but now it is not so clear.
Who knows, the ten kings could be regional kings that will rise out of the ashes of a world economic crash, not the EU at all.
But if Germany does leave the EU, she will be one of the pieces of iron.
Not sure Gold buying needs much help in Germany from what I heard on the Teevee...but someone might have thought a rumor would help.
The German Mark is the currency in Germany (DE, DEU). The German Mark is also known as Deutschmark, and Deutsche Mark. The exchange rate for the German Mark was last updated on May 7, 2010 from The International Monetary Fund. The DEM conversion factor has 6 significant digits.

hmmmmmmm......the Euro is not long for this world.
i highly doubt it. Why did they support the bailout only to then leave the EU?
It would make sense if they were “forced” to do the bailout without a choice to stop it
“I can’t quite grasp why established nations would agree to see their sovereignty dissolved.”
The original sovereign colonies let it happen. The US has headed down that path at breakneck speed.
If any nation could pull it off, Germany sure could.
Is it possible for a member of the EU to drop out??
If they did France would threaten military action, which would mean marching around, then eating cheese.
If they leave they better get out before the bailout bill comes due. Get while the gettin’s good!
Rumor ping.
Are they ever allowed to leave the new world order once they are in?
I don’t imagine that it is the Hotel California...
sorry, I couldn’t resist...:P
Germans (the smart ones) having been hoarding the DM ever since the Euro inception. Used as a black market currency since it’s been stronger than the Euro the whole.
....the whole time.
Making the change to the Euro was a massive undertaking. Switching back to the D-Mark would be an equally massive undertaking. You simply can’t do it from zero to 60 in 4 seconds.
Germany won’t just survive, Germany will basically run Europe if this really comes to pass.
Let’s see what the markets make of this tomorrow and what really happens this weekend. Nobody wants to go out on a limb on a rumor, but this rumor is starting to flesh out rather disturbingly, especially in light of some of the other comments being made at other sites. One is always reluctant to take anything at face value on the internet, but this one is a bit more than simply disturbing. The potential impact of a move like this could lead to the economic undoing of us all.
Home Depot still has those 1/4 mile spools of barbed wire for about $65...
