	Irish pound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The currency was referred to as the Irish pound from 1938 after the Constitution of Ireland changed the state's name.
		The legislative basis for decimalisation in the Republic was the Decimal Currency Act, 1969.
		Although the euro became the currency of the Eurozone countries including the Republic on January 1, 1999, it wasn't until the agreed date of January 1, 2002 that the state began to withdraw Irish pound coins and notes, replacing them with euro specie.

	Commonwealth Bank Group - Business Centre - Currency Risk Management (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Currency risk arises because the value of the Australian dollar fluctuates due to the market forces of supply and demand.
		Similarly, an exporter receiving foreign currency as payment for goods or services would consider a depreciating Australian dollar favourable, but would seek protection against an appreciating Australian dollar because of the potential for loss incurred as a result of a drop in the value of the final payment received.
		The primary goal of currency risk management is to protect the economic value of a business from the negative impact of exchange fluctuations, at the lowest possible cost.

		The Centre Jouffroy, in France, proposes a new non-national world currency to be called the "New Bancor", after the proposed name of John Maynard Keynes' proposed single global currency at the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference, the "Bancor".
		A global currency would also be an important step in promoting economic justice in the world, removing the advantage of a few favored countries whose currency is seen as stronger or more secure and preventing the poor from being hurt by the impacts of currency fluctuations.
		Another fear is that the abandonment of national currencies and foreign exchange markets would increase unemployment in some regions, both because some occupations would become redundant and because of the likelihood that a more open and level economic "playing field" would divert some jobs to other regions.

	Currency Boards
		Modern currency boards have often been instituted to gain credibility following a period of high or hyperinflation and, in this respect, have been remarkably successful.
		Countries that did exit from currency boards did so mainly for political, rather than economic, reasons and such exits were usually uneventful.
		Economic Policy is published in Association with the European Economic Association by the Centre for Economic Policy Research, the Centre for Economic Studies of the University of Munich and the Département et Laboratoire d’Economie Théorique et Appliquée (DELTA), in collaboration with the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme.

	SSRN-A Corporate Balance Sheet Approach to Currency Crises by Philippe Aghion, Philippe Bacchetta, Abhijit Banerjee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This Paper presents a general equilibrium currency crisis model of the 'third generation', in which the possibility of currency crises is driven by the interplay between private firms' credit-constraints and nominal price rigidities.
		Second, we derive sufficient conditions for the existence of a sunspot equilibrium with currency crises.
		Third, we show that a reduction in the monetary base through restrictive open market operations is more likely to eliminate the possibility of currency crises if at the same time the central bank does not impose excessive constraints on short-term lending facilities.
