Smart move, a Euro in hand is worth a Euro. A Euro in a Greek Bank is mostly like to be converted to Drachma at some point in the not so distant future. Wait till this starts happening in Italy.
i would bet you can make that same chart for the usa too, just with a lower slope. the whole problem is what to do with cash...buy real estate that can crash further, crappy stocks that can flash crash, or gold/silver.
I'm thinking of converting all of my dollars to seeds and ammo. A little farm well away from major population centers with some goats and chickens would be an excellent investment.
Bram, you have it right. I think we are going to be "back to basics" when the monetary system crashes and leads to huge disruptions in the supply of food.

Why do I feel like a Roman in 407 wondering how bad it can get?

Expect the same of Italy in a week or two. German banks are going to be flush with Euros....
