OSN pripravuje globálnu menu

OSN sa chystá vydávať zlatú a striebornú mincu, ktoré bude slúžiť ako globálna mena. Uno (strieborná v hodnote US$5) a Oro (zlatá v hodnote US$500). Bude to znamenať pomalý prechod na jednu globálnu menu s "reálnou hodnotou"? Ovplyvní to nejako vývoj cien v sektore drahých kovov?

The announcement by the United Nations this week that it will license the minting of silver and gold bullion coins bearing the UN logo may be the button that launches metal prices into orbit.

The UN decided to provide a “public option” savings currency, whereby currency mints will be licensed to mint two kinds of bullion coins the size of the 1€ coin – the Uno (silver ~$5) and the Oro (gold, ~$500). The names were adopted from the book “The Humanist”, which foresees the UN being better funded by 2015 via its licensing fees, expected to be 10-15%.

Armand Dufour of the European Bank welcomes their introduction. “People have enough Fiat currency options, government and banks cannot intrude on bullion coins – they will have their own inviolable value.”

He does have one concern, however. “If we see a dismounting from the US dollar, as is inevitable in the main view, there will be a strong move to the Oro, which may drive its price up to the point where governments will not allow its circulation; they will try to isolate it.”

“That’s when the fun begins.” he said.
