10 Reasons Why The Reign Of The Dollar As The World Reserve Currency Is About To Come To An End

The U.S. dollar has probably been the closest thing to a true global currency that the world has ever seen.  For decades, the use of the U.S. dollar has been absolutely dominant in international trade.  This has had tremendous benefits for the U.S. financial system and for U.S. consumers, and it has given the U.S. government tremendous power and influence around the globe.

Today, more than 60 percent of all foreign currency reserves in the world are in U.S. dollars.  But there are big changes on the horizon.  The mainstream media in the United States has been strangely silent about this, but some of the biggest economies on earth have been making agreements with each other to move away from using the U.S. dollar in international trade.

* (Kaperoni): Dinar Updates 3/7/12

How do I know the rate will be around 1.2 to $1 initially? Because Iraq said so. Not once but numerous times. There are at least 20 articles discussing new lower notes and an exchange rate of 50 dinars equals about $43 US. That is in fact, 1.2 to $1. Assistant Professor and Dean Dr. Fadel who helped create the “delete 3 zeros” plan back in 2006-2007 states 1.2 to $1 and makes this offering… “The deletion process will be on according to the following: it becomes the U.S. dollar at today’s prices = 1200 fils in the sense that the U.S. $ 100 = 120 dinars, which is very suitable for such a stage that the government control inflation and keep it at reasonable levels.” Again, more confirmation of an initial rate of 1.2 to $1. Now one final bit of proof, Saleh who is Deputy Governor of the CBI has documented in tables that the rate of the dinar is somewhere from 1.17 –1.30 per $1. Again, more real confirmation.

FEBRUARY 21, 2012 It’s now the right time to keep Vietnam dong !


The State Bank of Vietnam had kept the dong/dollar interbank exchange rate at 20,828 dong per dollar for the 39th consecutive day by late last week. The exchange rate stabilization has prompted people to sell dollars and keep dong.
Nguyen Ngoc Lan in Hoan Kiem district in Hanoi on February 16 morning came to Eximbank to ask about the dollar prices, planning to covert the dollar deposits at the bank to dong deposits.
Lan said that the central bank has been keeping the exchange rate unchanged for the last 40 days, which means that the exchange rate would be stable in the time to come. Therefore, Lan decided to sell the dollars she has to buy dong to deposit at banks. While the dollar deposit interest rates stay at two percent per annum, the dong deposit interest rate is 14 percent per annum. Therefore, it would be more profitable to deposit in dong than in dollar. 
In the past, the central bank sometimes had to devaluate the local currency by 5 percent, 7 percent or 10 percent, depending on the supply and demand. Once the supply was short, the exchange rate expectations increased.
