Cosmic single currency unveiled in Bulgaria
SOFIA (AFP) - A cosmic single currency for use in financial transactions between Earthlings and extra-terrestrial civilizations has been unveiled at a conference on unidentified flying objects here.
"We are offering the galactos as a means of payment between plants. It will represent the Earth in financial relations in the Cosmos," Kiril Kanev, chairman of the Bulgarian foundation on cosmic intelligence research, said Sunday.
The coin, made up of chrome and nickel, weighs three grams with the inscription "galactos" and the year of issue 2004. It will be identified by the letter G with two parallel lines like the US dollar.
The Bulgarian foundation sent its official currency proposal to Bulgarian President Georgy Parvanov, Prime Minister Simeon Saxe-Coburg and the Bulgarian Central Bank governor, Kanev said.
"Extra-terrestrials come into contact with insignificant, ordinary people. We're not talking about government-level relations," he added.
But he said high-level contacts to launch the "galactos" will be possible after peace is established among peoples on Earth," he said.
So much for that gold-pressed latinum.
I think most people will prove to be galactos-intolerant...
