Countries that see their wealth being drained away will soon enact tariffs and (if they're big countries) trade blockades. The whole mess will be a clusterfuck in no time at all as countries experiencing the greater losses try to disentangle themselves while the big banksters duke it out to see who gets to be the whole top of the dungheap.

Shoot, maybe we'll have to go back to barter for a while, not looking forward to that.
