Bloomberg: Medvedev Shows Off Sample Coin of New ‘World Currency’ at G-8
July 10 (Bloomberg) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev illustrated his call for a supranational currency to replace the dollar by pulling from his pocket a sample coin of a “united future world currency.”
“Here it is,” Medvedev told reporters today in L’Aquila, Italy, after a summit of the Group of Eight nations. “You can see it and touch it.”

What are they going to call it? The Fiat?
By the way "Unity in Diversity" also happens to be Indonesia's national motto and what a corrupt shithole for a country that is.
(Democracy has improved there in recent years - there's even an election on now - but ex-Presiedent Suharto is history's most notorious kleptocrat thought to have stolen over $67bn from the nation's coffers).

So we have not adopted the EURO knowing the world currency is going to come but now I suggest we print as much money as we can and create as much wealth as we can...

Uncle Tom:
Yes, get one free with every packet of cornflakes regardless of the Brand. Politicians and
councilors could all wear them as putty medals. Fit one to every make of car and 4x4, nice
badge, looks like the Alfa Romeo brand then-verooom. Bring back the German Mark, Peseta and Franc
- All is forgiven.

A bit like Arnie's IOUs. You can see them and touch them. But you can't spend them.
