Default Euro Creator to announce TERRA currency

On October 29, 2003 Bernard Lietaer, Co-founder of the Euro, will
announce his plans plans for the unveiling of the Terra, the world's
first global trade reference currency.

The Terra project is the launch of a commodity-backed Trade Reference
Currency (TRC), a supra-national currency that works in parallel with
national money systems. It is uniquely designed to provide a stable
international mechanism for planning, contractual and payment purposes
worldwide. Stay tuned for more about this exciting announcement. More

The "Future of Money" summit is something that all numismatists should
be aware of. We spend almost all of our time investigating and
reporting the money of the PAST -- and occasionally of the present.
Seldom do we get involved in truly creative activities such as this.

Bernard Lietaer didn't cofound anything, The Eurodollar/ecu/euro has been
around for decades.

If you read the "Left Behind" series of books you might be rather alarmed at
the prospect of "One World Currency" as it precedes the appearance of the
anti-Christ.

Isn't that just after it says "And the one who was Conan the Barbarian
shall step forth to govern in the land of the free..."

That'll never happen!

I once saw a list of the "Top One Hundred" things to watch for, that
are said to precede the anti-christ.....

The call for a new type of "trade dollar" is a not unexpected
by-product of globalization--
--just like high unemployment and declining standards of living.

The generations of Americans that remember 72-hour work-weeks, child
labor, and elderly people committing suicide rather than starving
(before FDR's 'New Deal' brought us Social Security) are fast
disappearing.
Although not fast enough for the shady moguls of multi-national
corporations that currently rule the economic planet.
Seeing the names of Mr. Forbes and Mr. Bloomberg (in their corporate
form) as sponsors on the 'Terra' webpage was certainly no surprise.

Advocates of globalization, global currency, and free trade, would
just love to erase national social 'safety-nets' (regardless of nation)
to further propel their global profits agenda, whilst pulling the rug
out from under everyone else (--that means us, folks--unless your name
is Forbes..).


Now, Please don't read this wrong.

I am not a 'nationalist' in any sense of the word.
Even though I DO favor using U.S. dollars, buying U.S. made goods, and
eating tomatoes grown in Florida-- not Mexico.
( --I also believe that the Oval Office should remain restricted to
native-born Americans, but that's grist for another mill....)

While I do NOT favor unbridled globalization, nor international
currencies, I cannot lose sight of the fact that nationalist fervor can
lead to all kinds of trouble (--as it did for the Germans and the
Japanese in the 1930's & 40's, and will for Americans today, if we're
not careful).

In our era of instant electronic banking, (and similarly rapid
transfers of great wealth) to say that there is any 'need' for an
international currency is specious, indeed.

It would be better for all concerned if any future international
currency were small-scale, strictly physical, and numismatic in nature.

Numismatics is the art and science that studies the forms and uses of

Therefore, money does not have to be tangible or collectible to be
within the study of numismatics.

In the future, your Identity will be your Money. Who you are will
define what you are worth. Your worth can change. Earn a college
degree, your worth goes up. However, instead of carrying markers
(paper and coins), or cards that point to markers, a quick biometric
scan will be the same thing as money.


I'd suggest that most coin collectors are far more interested in the
history, the art, and the collectability of coins than they are in
their economic role. The future of money may indeed be about
nonphysical forms of exchange, but I don't believe this means, as you
said, that it's something that "all numismatists should be aware of."

Much futuretalk is sheer speculation anyway. Some of it comes true,
much of it doesn't. Take at look at some of the very long term
planning that took place in the past.

As far as the terra being the world's first global trade reference
currency, hello? The Athenian Owl assumed this role 2,500 years ago,
in the world of its time. There have been a good number of other coins
and currencies that have done this since, not the least of which is
the U.S. dollar.
