Default Any finance experts here?

IF scenario...

If Le Penn gets in next year (plus Italy, Holland, Germany, and the rest) and France does pull the EU plug, well, I still plan to be in France, but should I...

A) ...continue to bank transfer yen to a euro that will disappear, in the asumption that whatever comes after that will not mean a loss in actual value? Also, I'd be buying those failing euros at a bargain rate.

B) ...hang onto my Japanese yen until I see what the impact of EU collapse actually is?

C) ...move to Somalia instead?

The transition from French Franc to Euro had a negative impact on pricing consumers lost 20 to 30% buying power over night a reversal would be just as damaging if not more.

The Euro will not disappear, but will be changed into a new currency be it the Franc or even the Livre (french).
You will know in advance what the € vs Franc exchange rate will be.
Remember double currency was shown of receipts for years before the changeover to the Euro.
Apart from companies using the change for a price increase, as CS said, imports could become more expensive but domestic products should not be affected.
Wait and see.
Don't go to Somalia - go to the USA where there will be a giant construction project at the Mexican border.

Double currency still is shown on French till receipts!

So much choice, I hope you're a gambler by nature! Another option of course would have been to turn all your yen into £s a couple of weeks ago when the £ hit the bottom, on the basis that the only way, probably, was up. As indeed I believe it has proved to be, slightly. But who would have bet on Trump.
