I know what you're thinking - helping the whole of humanity, from within one thread on an insignificant forum?

But calm down, for I have found the perfect use for us.

With the world possibly, maybe moving towards one global currency, there are many issues to be resolved in regards to that. Surely we are incapable of helping with most of them, but not all.
And this is where we come in.

I say that greylabyrinth.com determines what we should name this global currency, or what fictional currency we should name it after.

If we have a single world currency, it will probably be called the dollar (with the renmindi and euro being distant contenders. Possibly gold and credits as well.)

The above paragraph should give you my feelings of the likelihood of a single currency in the next hundred years or so.

I tend to think of money in terms of nickels at the craps table anyway. So, Nickels. 1 Nickel = $5 USD
