If Greece returns to the drachma, I think it will essentially revert to the way things were before the euro, that is, a small currency that doesn't get much respect outside, or even inside, its own country, but which its residents must accept for daily living. That's basically the way it was with nearly all the Latin/Mediterranean countries of the Eurozone before 2002, and the expected stability and respect of the euro were incentives for them to join.
