I think you (and Peter) missed a joke (which has a serious overtone).
The point is that if Greece leaves the euro area, they will hardly want
to use the old drachma sign (₯, U+20AF)—it’s very old-fashioned and not
in line with currency symbols in general.
Of course, there is no need for any action by the Unicode Consortium or
by font manufacturers on a new drachma sign before an authoritative (or
any real) initiative on it from the Greek side. But in addition to being
rather hilarious IMHO, in this context, the question can be taken as a
useful heads-up
