I loved this line:

“5) Dropping the dollar peg will make the yuan a major reserve currency. That means lower interests rates in China as foreign central banks build up yuan reserves.”

I mean who wouldn’t want to hold the notes backed by full faith and credit of a repressive fascist regime.

Very good point ~ given the choice between holding milled Spanish dollars or German silver (in the early 1800s) the young United States government prayed for the discovery of its own gold supply!

In the meantime banks printed their own bank notes.

Right now (in early 2009) it's obvious that you mean China.

In two years things may be more ambiguous :0(
