Title: Do you think there is some truth to the AMERO rumor?
Post by: Masha on November 11, 2008, 03:03:27 PM
Watch this video. The guy claims that the new Amero currency has already been minted and distributed (to China) and will replace the dollar in 6 months. What d you all think? Could this be true?

No, this guy is not credible. This does not invalidate a strong possibility of the collapse of the dollar in the near future.

6 months??   no.

However... It could be a possibility down the road.

I realize now that the Amero coin is a hoax. I should have checked before I posted. However, I agree with you that the overall scenario is still a possibility.

Its a reality... since it DID happen in Europe.   And unfortunately, it may happen as a motivated show of friendship and solidarity with Canada and Mexico.  I sure as hell hope not.

Shalom Friends,

This evening I was listening to a shuir and the Rabbi mentioned the currency called Pieces of Eight. This particular name is also the name of a song by one of my favorite bands {when I was a teenager} Styx (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pieces_of_Eight_(album)) . I was not very familiar with the Pieces of Eight so I did a wiki search as I sat here. It is very interesting:

The Spanish dollar (also known as the piece of eight, the real de a ocho, or the eight real coin) is a silver coin, worth eight reales, that was minted in the Spanish Empire after a Spanish currency reform in 1497. It was legal tender in the United States until an Act of the United States Congress discontinued the practice in 1857. Through widespread use in Europe, the Americas and the Far East, it became the first world currency by the late 18th century. Many existing currencies, such as the Canadian dollar, United States dollar and the Chinese yuan, as well as currencies in Latin America and the Philippine peso were initially based on the Spanish dollar and other 8 reales coins.

It appears that we have already had a 'world currency'. I hope they are not thinking about bringing this back...
