They're going to know that as soon as the drachma starts exchanging on foreign exchange markets, that the actual reality is 1 drachma is going to be worth something closer to maybe .6 of a euro.

In fact, a tax on foreign exchange transactions the so called Tobin tax, advocated by the late Nobel laureate economist James Tobin might be the simplest way to go.
