In the foreign exchange market and international finance, a world currency, supranational currency, or global currency refers to a currency in which the vast majority of international transactions take place and which serves as the world's primary reserve currency. In March 2009, as a result of the global economic crisis, China and Russia have pressed for urgent consideration of a global currency and a UN panel has proposed greatly expanding the IMF's SDRs or Special Drawing Rights.

Currencies have many forms depending on several properties: type of issuance, type of issuer and type of backing. The particular configuration of those properties leads to different types of money. The pros and cons of a currency are strongly influenced by the type proposed. Consider, for example, the properties of a complementary currency.

Does anyone think that this G20 meeting could lead to the creation of a world currency?
Q. Or even an Amero currency? If so, would this have a positive or negative impact?

A. It sounds like they are talking about it. I wonder how they would exchange the money we currently have. There is no doubt we are in the midst of creating a one world government at this point without our having any say in the matter.
