The future of the dollar was one of several subjects debated at the G8 summit
Mr Medvedev, who has been seeking ways to displace the dollar as the world's dominant reserve currency, produced a sample coin of what he described as a 'united future world currency'.
“Here it is,” Mr Medvedev said, according to Bloomberg. “You can see it and touch it.” The coin, which was minted in Belgium, was presented to all the G8 leaders attending the summit and bears the words 'unity in diversity.'
The possibility of a supranational currency “concerns everyone now, even the mints,” Mr Medvedev said. The test coin “means they’re getting ready. I think it’s a good sign that we understand how interdependent we are.” Russia, alongside China and India, have all questioned the dollar's future as a global reserve currency - a status it has enjoyed since inheriting it from sterling last century.

so we can now REMOVE “ In God We TRUST” from our currency!!
Great Plan Zero!!! Great Plan!!! sarc!
You could have told somebody! LOL!
Really I had no idea.
I knew they were this far but I didn’t think they would let it leak until the chosen one announced it.
I just love how they use “UN Blue” for the notes! /s
>F*** one world government.
I agree. I’m going to take my cash, buy a big plot of land, and build a fort.

LOL...yes that is a accurate pic of who he truly is!
I truly almost did not want to post it. He is so cold and evil.
Since 0bama said in his speech yesterday he embraces all of the UN millenium goals by next year when are they planning to pull this rabbit out of their hats?
Will some people be shocked even though he outright said it in his speech yesterday? Will our MSM report this?
I thought they all embraced the Euro. Please explain. UK, Denmark and Sweden still use their own currencies.
Only 16 members of the European Union use the Euro.
The 11 that do not are:
United Kingdom
Bulgaria
Czech Rep.
Denmark
Estonia
Hungary
Latvia
Lithuania
Poland
Romania
Sweden
And there are potentially others that may want ‘off’ the Euro.
Doesn’t our constitution trump this?
Manifesto
ART. 1
“Unity in diversity” is the foundation that drives this initiative, which started up in 1996. Its aim is to bring people together and go beyond national stereotypes. Its historical importance is even greater than its economic one; it is a goal built on faith, common hope, and the unification of cultural and spiritual roots.
ART. 2
The relationship between Europe and America, and between the United States and many Countries from the five continents, is based on common cultural traditions and sustained by a parallel vision of the world. It is driven by the highest concepts of brotherhood and peace. These relations are cultivated through global dynamics whose purpose is to fulfill social, political and economic objectives, in full respect of the values and national identities that found countries’ respective constitutions.
ART. 3
It is therefore our wish to bring to life the project for a common currency, which has been given the provisional names, “Eurodollar/Dollaeur” (initially), “United Money”, then “United Future World Currency”. It would symbolize not only the economic, but also the human, social, political, and spiritual bonds between the Nations of different Continents that hold similar ideals.
ART. 4
The common currency project is a highly important step towards bringing people together. It is a means of understanding, provides reference and reinforces different identities that share principle objectives. Competition in respective markets remains free, and the basic principles of participating countries’ national identities will be safeguarded.
ART. 5
We are determined to raise awareness of this project among as many people as possible in all Continents. We are focused particularly on the active involvement of young people, especially from schools. Indeed, young people represent the strongest, most concrete vehicle for spreading this initiative. They are also the potential future beneficiaries of this large step forward towards unification and the creation of a world that responds better to the requirements of the new Millennium, as it gradually breaks down social and ideological barriers.
ART. 6
Renewed cultural interest in the Economy comes as a result of shifting perceptions of currency as a whole. This follows on from the debate opened by the introduction of the Euro. Through this Project, students, including from a very young age, can become familiar with basic economic issues. The latter are increasingly important in a new society of widespread wellbeing.
ART. 7
A joint Committee will be selected. It will include experts from a wide variety of disciplines. Everyone will be free to offer their own contribution to the project. This committee will also form the Jury that selects the most interesting ideas, proposals and projects demanded by different initiatives underway.
ART. 8
There will be an information and support campaign to coordinate working groups, committees and clubs, implemented through organizations, bodies and associations. There will be a consideration period for all contributions regarding the expansion, comparison and development of: issues and technical problems; optimizing legislative instruments and procedures; and fulfilling the obligations of the new Currency.
ART. 9
Trials will be carried out at important international events, aimed at awareness, education and promotion. “United Money” currency (banknotes and coins) trials will be entrusted to the best international professionals and experts in the appropriate fields.
Time will be set aside to explore technologically-advanced security and counterfeiting issues, which a future Currency will have to keep in check. This will involve the most prestigious and trustworthy public and private bodies, including universities and companies.
ART. 10
It will be the responsibility of the world’s future citizens and the governments they put in place to make our Project a reality. This project is driven by a firm belief in the unification and co-existence of different peoples. It aims to promote an increasingly equal distribution of the planet’s resources and human intellect.

"Ours is better" has been reported as being a common remark from the smiling Texans.
"Everybody wants ours, we can't keep up with the demand from those turning in various forms of paper money for the Texas currency."
it’s two-faced, with a holographic tail that never stops turning...
I’m surprised Texas doesn’t have the .308 or the .223 as currency.
Well said. I think Texas and mostly all southern states will be the safest states when this crap is finalized in a few months.
I know some good ole NC rednecks that don’t take too kindly to this.
We have so much corruption and evil in government that no one even cares that Obama is ruining the USA, for a global evil purpose.....
It gets worse everyday he is in office...
Gold makes a great alternative currency just the way it is. I love it. I own it but, we don’t need global currency in any capacity. If America were forced to adopt a global currency backed by gold, we could very well end up handing over the contents of fort knox to our creditor nations who are clearly unhappy with us and the dollar. Such a thing will not turn out well for us and, guess what else, gold confiscation will come back to America.
I apologize for the double posting.
I like to thank sparko for the links he provided. God bless.
Don't shoot the messenger - the Russians just spilled the beans - this was concocted in the West. The dollar is dead as a door nail since the Wall Street melt down.
Don’t feel bad! I have done searches even in archive and had things not show but they are there.
I believe it is all in the EXACT title. i e.... Drudge has one title and the actual story has many others.
