Medvedev Shows Off Sample Coin of New ‘World Currency’ at G-8
Share | Email | Print | A A A

By Lyubov Pronina

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.”

The coin, which bears the words “unity in diversity,” was minted in Belgium and presented to the heads of G-8 delegations, Medvedev said.

The question of a supranational currency “concerns everyone now, even the mints,” Medvedev said. The test coin “means they’re getting ready. I think it’s a good sign that we understand how interdependent we are.”

Medvedev has repeatedly called for creating a mix of regional reserve currencies as part of the drive to address the global financial crisis, while questioning the U.S. dollar’s future as a global reserve currency. Russia’s proposals for the G-20 meeting in London in April included the creation of a supranational currency.

It looks like sci-fi movie money or something.

Anyway, FUCK COINS. I hate skating with anything metal or jingly in my pockets. The last thing I said has nothing to do with freeballing.

Who uses cash these days? All I need is a plastic card. Couldn't care less about coins and bills.

i'm glad that europe got the euro, it makes things easier - and it's a symbol of peace, 50 years after the 2nd world war.

a world currency would be dope in my opinion.

The Euro fucking sucks. Giving up your national currency is like givin' away a little bit of your country to Bruxelles.

your talking to the wrong person, if you use the term "your country". i'm not born here, i did nothing for this country and my personal identification was created by the things i do, not the things i have nothing done for (like my nationality).

interesting to think about in terms of economic theory, terrifying to think of as a reality and impossible to the USA to adopt

we couldn't even adopt the metric system so i doubt this new coin will take off.
