Obama Was Asked If The US Will Go To A One World Currency !

He is definitely a person of an extreme nature:

In an interview with The Washington Post on November 11, 2003, Soros said that removing President George W. Bush from office was the "central focus of my life" and "a matter of life and death." He said he would sacrifice his entire fortune to defeat President Bush, "if someone guaranteed it," and many continue to state this as Soros's position even after Soros clarified the statement in a Q&A session at the end of his March 3, 2004 address to California's Commonwealth Club.

Insider trading conviction
In 1988, he was asked to join a takeover attempt of the French bank Societe Generale. He declined to participate in the bid but did later buy a number of shares in the company. French authorities began an investigation in 1989, and in 2002 a French court ruled that it was insider trading, a felony conviction as defined under French securities laws and fined him $2.3 million, which was the amount that he made using the insider information.

Punitive damages were not sought because of the delay in bringing the case to trial. Soros denied any wrongdoing and said news of the takeover was public knowledge.

His insider trading conviction was upheld by the highest court in France on June 14, 2006. In December, 2006 he appealed to the European Court of Human Rights, claiming that the 14-year delay in bringing the case to trial precluded a fair hearing.

I think you may have been listening to a little too much US government propaganda. Always a dangerous thing. You guys (much like us) are in a pickle!

Better system of what? Government?

My opinion of Soros is decidedly not family-friendly so I will keep it to myself

All I will say is that he has been doing alot of bragging lately on how many billions his hedge fund is making by betting on an economic collapse, he specifically talks up the worst aspects, makes a concerted attempt to drive negative economic indicators, and his overt funding of bottomfeeders like MediaMatters and MoveOn.org. That guy is bad mojo for everyone regardless of political affiliation, nothing like some jerk rooting for everyone to lose but himself...

The EU's coins make sense solely due to the fact of the close proximity of all of the participating nations the same way dozens of African nations share the same currency now.

In 10-15 years I could fathom a possible Amero Dollar but seriously doubt it. I too agree that we will become a cashless society far before anything like this will ever happen.

You modern collectors are just gonna have to suck it up and collect older coins like the rest of us now

Yup, and now people think his word is as good as gold. Before, I didn't even know who Soros was, but after his lucky hand, people think he's some kind of market-predicting-altering-forming-making saint.

Agreed. While coins and similar physical objects remain in everyday use, they will remain as symbols of autonomy and independence. But once physical money disappears as a practical medium of exchange and becomes entirely electronic (and, assuming we aren't heading for a New Dark Age, this is inevitable), a one-world currency will be much easier to implement. After all, why should you, me or anybody else care whether those electrons are called dollars, or credits, or googleplexes, or anything else?
