What will be the next reserve currency?

Few doubt the dollar is on the way out in the next few decades, but what will replace it?
Let lose your wild speculation!

I voted 'Other' but how about the Peso

In the long run: Euro AND Rembinmi.

But eventually i could imagine a rennaissance of plenty of local currencies as well. That is when china and the EU hit the upper limit of economical growth, and start to stagnate on a high level, while ressources become rare.

This is what the American people should be using for money http://www.bulliondirect.com/catalog...FQQCagodX302xw not any sort of fiat currency, or "notes".

I wonder how much the US will go in trying to keep the dollar strong at the
expense of US export industries in order to keep the dollar as a popular reserve.

It doesn't seam to be doing all that much atm.

Don't see the Chinese currency gaining much ground. For all we hear about China's economic power, much of that activity is as a throughput house for Western countries.

Don't forget that was what the US was like before it over took the pound. All
industry, raw materials and ship building.

It won't just be French warships at America's door demanding gold if that happens
before the euro overtakes the dollar as a reserve!

Nah the Aussie has been sold off bigger than ever. Slide from a 98US cent high in July to ~60US cents now. Bugga!

The common currency of the future Russo-Sino-Indian-Common-Market!

Imagine that for a what-if scenario! :hmm:
Wonder if they'd let EU join in! Probably not
