In Greece it does not even have to be Gesellian. In fact, I would argue that Gesellian money is a crude hack to get around having your fiscal policy institutionally crippled: If you are politically prepared to go Gesellian, then you should also be politically prepared to flat out print money and institute (implicit) hard currency rationing.
