The end of the single currency.

Just a quick one. Cyprus has just passed capital controls into law, preventing people from taking their own Euros out of the country. Given that the purpose of a single currency is the free movement of capital, it can reasonably be said that the Cypriot Euro and the European Euro are now effectively different currencies.
