Extractions: NewsWithViews.com It should be noted that Slick Willie has nothing over Treasury Secretary John Snow who will snow you at every turn. The closing press briefing of the G7 Finance Ministers and Central Bankers on Saturday was a sterling example of arrogance and unbridled power in the hands of the globalists. What was on the mind of most reporters was the value of the dollar in world currency markets. Snow refused to comment on the way the dollar should go or if there was agreement that it was low enough to accomplish reducing our trade deficit. Seven times he was asked differently phrased questions about the dollar. His prevailing response was, I never comment on exchange rates or the levels of exchange rates. Both this agreement and the Dubai agreement were unanimously supported by every member of the G7 and reflect our views on the subject. It was five months ago in Dubai that the G7 Finance and Central Bank Ministers signaled their intent to let the markets determine the value of the dollar and other currencies.
World Currency This reflects the market expectation of what a unit of that currency will buy When it first made its misbegotten entry into the world less than eighteen http://www.ardue.org.uk/world/currency.htm
Extractions: The Economy of Life In a materialistic world, the monetary value of any good or service to you, dear reader, is whatever you are prepared to pay for it in whatever currency you happen to have available to you. My monetary valuation of the same good or service may be quite different, even if I use the same currency as you. The 'market value' of the good or service in question is merely the statistical mean of the widely varying values assigned to that good or service in the very large number of individual transactions that take place among the people who currently trade in the market for that good or service. If the traders in a market use different currencies, the relative values of these currencies is determined by comparing the market values of the goods or services each unit of a currency will buy at the time. This reflects the market expectation of what a unit of that currency will buy in the future. In a global market, some currencies are more 'popular' than others, and will therefore obtain 'better value for money' than less popular currencies. This is because traders who accept less popular currencies charge more for their goods and services to offset the risk inherent in holding an unpopular currency which may become still less popular before they have time to change it into their preferred currency. The price paid will also include a premium to cover the cost of exchange.

This is the first time since at least May that all 22 of the firms that trade U.S. government securities directly with the Fed haven't agreed on higher rates. Eighteen predict the central bank will raise its benchmark rate for the 11th straight time. Four forecast no change due to the possible impact on the economy of Hurricane Katrina. ``Most people expect the Fed to raise rates, but there are some skeptics out there who may sell dollars,'' said Matthew Lifson, managing director and chief currency trader at PNC Capital Markets in Pittsburgh. ``Everybody is waiting for the Fed, needless to say.'' The U.S. currency weakened to $1.2170 per euro at 1:30 p.m. in New York, from $1.2141 late yesterday, according to currency- dealing system EBS. The dollar was at 111.55 yen, from 111.53. Elmer said the dollar may drop to $1.27 per euro and 108 yen in three months.
Extractions: and its history With the establishment of the first colony of New South Wales in 1788, the need for currency soon became apparent. Convicts received no wages and the early settlers and military personnel had their needs supplied from communal stores. With only a small quantity of English and foreign coins brought with the First Fleet, most of the dealings in the first few years consisted of bartering, with rum being the main means of exchange. Handwritten notes of credit, issued by government officials and backed by the English treasury, were a common form of currency, but these were subject to counterfeiting and devaluation. The earliest currency used was English money, and also the Spanish dollar brought by the early ships. Because of the shortage of English money, and to prevent the Spanish dollars being taken back on the ships, Governor Macquarie had their centres cut out and they became known as 'holey dollars', while the cores became 'dumps'. In 1813 they had "New South Wales 1813" stamped on them, with "Five Shillings" on the reverse side. The 'dump' had "New South Wales 1813" stamped on their cleaned and smoothed surface with "Fifteen Pence" on the reverse side. In 1817 the Bank of New South Wales was established. The first issue of banknotes comprised five shillings, ten shillings, one pound and five pounds and paper tokens for one shilling, one shilling and sixpence, two shillings, and two shillings and sixpence. In 1825 the British Government imposed the sterling standard throughout its Empire and English coins were minted in Australia.

Beijing Tips - Currency The main thing to remember when dealing with Chinese currency is the 5 Jiao note is not 5 RMB. We've seen foreign tourists at the subway station confused as to why the 3 RMB ticket is not covered by their 5 Jiao (0.5 RMB) note. The next thing is to watch out for fake currency. There are many fake yellow-style 50's and less new-style (red) 100's. We will cover how to spot a fake note in a future tip. The other interesting thing is that the 100 RMB note is currently the largest denomination note available. This means when you go to buy some high-ticket item like an airfare, mobile phone or your next six months rent in cash, you have to bring a small suitcase of 100 RMB notes. The currency in circulation is as follows: 100 RMB two types although only one in common circulation. The maximum denomination note. Equivalent to about $13 US. The older style is blue (picture coming soon) and is pretty much gone but is still valid currency.
Paper Money It had two main advantages over money made out of silver, gold, Flying cash was not meant to be currency and its circulation was rather limited. http://www.silk-road.com/artl/papermoney.shtml
Extractions: Paper currency was a by-product of Chinese block-printing. It started in Tang but not until Song dynasty that it became institutionized as a governmental policy. It had two main advantages over money made out of silver, gold, copper or iron: It was easier to carry around and the copper and iron could be saved for use in everyday objects. Names and seals were printed and written on paper money by the government officials who issued it. Unfortunatey no written documents exist today which enable us to know how this system of paper currency actually functioned prior to the Yuan period. When Maro Polo traveld to China in the 13th century, he was so impressed by paper money that he described how it was made, used and valued. Paper money was not used in Europe until the 17th century. Paper money began with the "flying cash" of the Tang (618-907) dynasty around 800. The Tang government considering the inconvenience of shipping cash to distant areas where government purchases were made, paid local merchants with money certifiactes called "flying cash", because of its tendency to blow away. These certificates bearing different amounts of money could be converted into hard cash on demand at the capital. Since they were transferable, they were exchanged among merchans almost like currency. After Chin (1115-1234) occupied the north China, it followed Song's practice. In 1154 it established a Bureau of Paper Currency in Kaifeng as the central agency in charge of all issues. Two kinds paper currency were issued, one of large denominations, consisting of one to ten strings (each string was worth 1000 standard coins) and another of small denominations, bearing the amounts of one to seven hundred standard coins. The validity of each issue was limited to seven years. However little thought was given to backing the currency issue and inflation soared during the 12th century. Even though counterfeiter of paper currency was punishable by death, there were few attempts. In 1183, a printer, who had produced 2600 fake notes in 6 months was arrested and sentenced to death.

Extractions: [Skip to Navigation] Internationally recognised as the `father of the atom', Ernest Rutherford changed the basic understanding of atomic science on three occasions: he explained the perplexing problem of naturally occurring radioactivity, determined the structure of the atom, and changed one element into another. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which Rutherford received in 1908, is represented on the note. Overlaying the medallion is a graph plotting the results from Rutherford's investigations into naturally occurring radioactivity. The yellowhead, sometimes known as the bush canary, is a diminutive and colourful bird. It is found in tracts of native bush throughout the South Island, preferring the canopies and sub-canopies of beech forests. Yellowheads are in a serious state of decline due to rat and stoat predation. Beech forests are one of the two main types of forest in New Zealand. Red beech grow up to 30 metres high and are named for the colour of their young leaves. Favouring warmer and more fertile sites than do other varieties of beech, their red wood is considered to be the most durable. Red beech is found in both North and South Islands and is the favoured habitat of the yellowheads in the Eglinton Valley.

Mundell, also known as the father of the Euro, reaffirmed on Monday his position that China should maintain its currency exchange policy despite pressure from Western countries for China to appreciate the yuan. Maintaining China's currency stable is important not only to China, but also to other parts of the world, Professor Mundell told the Nobel Laureates Beijing Forum 2005. The three-day forum, which concludes Wednesday, drew the participation of Edward Prescott, John F. Nash, Robert W. Fogel, James A. Mirrlees, Vermon L. Smith and Clive W. J. Granger, and other noted overseas economists. A possible move to appreciate or float the Chinese currency would bring disastrous consequences to China, including delaying the convertibility of the Chinese currency, or the Chinese yuan, cutting down on the inflow of foreign direct investment, slowing down its economic growth, worsening unemployment and the fiscal situation, and destabilizing Southeast Asian countries, said Mundell. It would also affect China's capability of honoring the commitment it made upon its entry into the World Trade Organization and be bad for Hong Kong, he said.

Extractions: ISBN 340 12694 9. Jack has a couple of pages on the coin struck for Hywel Dda in the 10th century and briefly discusses claims that other Welsh princes issued coins. The only one of these that Jack attaches much credence to is a report by Edward Lhuyd in 1698 that the Bishop of Bangor told him that one of his relations had possessed a coin issued by Llewelyn ab Iorwerth, or Llywelyn the Great, (who became Prince of Gwynedd in about 1197 and extended his rule over much of the rest of Wales in the next two decades, his reign ending with his death in 1240). Lhyud said that the Bishop (whose knowledge of Old Welsh was claimed by Lhyud himself to be even greater than his own) had shown the coin to many of his acquaintances who confirmed his story. Lhuyd's account seems to imply that the coin had unfortunately been lost by the time he was told the story. Jack is much more sceptical of claims for coin production by other Welsh princes and concludes his discussion of the minting activities of native princes thus: "the evidence amounts to one virtually certain coin, one very doubtful coin of a doubtful prince, one well-attested lost piece of Llywelyn the Great and some lost triangular curiosities. With Norman and Angevin mintings in Wales, the evidence, though still uncomfortably scanty, is much more circumstantial." (page 201). English coins may have circulated in Wales to some extent before the conquest, but even as late as the 14th century payment in cattle was still very common. (See
