Every EU member but Denmark is obliged to adopt the Euro and the days of granting exceptions on accession are over.

On the contrary, the EU will make sure that the UK isn't going to pull a Sweden and deliberately fail the Euro criteria just to avoid adopting it on a technicality.

What might happen is introducing national backsides for Euro notes so you can have your King's mug on yours. We're not monsters after all.

While Denmark does have an exception from adopting the Euro, the DKK is pegged against it, and has been since 1999.
