If you turned the question around, and asked if it would be to Denmark's advantage to lock into the Euro at too strong a rate, the answer would clearly be negative. And that is the danger of entering against a weak Euro - - your exports will forever be too expensive, you will never get any capital investment from the rest of Europe, etc. That said, my impression is that the no vote is less a verdict on the Euro itself, and more of a general expression of dissatisfaction with the evolution of a 'European government' without popular participation. I have always expected a weak Euro, given the economic conditions in the largest economies of Europe. As long as unemployment stays as high as it is, I doubt the Euro will be able to make much of a move.
