Abstract
The Eurozone, as a currency union, has attracted a number of criticisms on its construction, its completeness and its capability to perform during challenging times. The European Commission remains committed to deepening and completing the Economic and Monetary Union and this article, which looks back at the legal mechanics employed by sovereign actors since 1900 in relation to currency dissolutions and other measures, assesses that breaking up is hard to do.
