	Currency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In cases where a country does have control of its own currency, that control is exercised either by a central bank or by a Ministry of Finance.
		At various times countries have either restamped foreign coins, or used currency board issuing one note of currency for each note of a foreign government held, as Ecuador currently does.
		It was with Archimedes' principle that the next link in currency occurred: coins could now be easily tested for their fine weight of metal, and thus the value of a coin could be determined, even if it had been shaved, debased or otherwise tampered with (see Numismatics).

	A Pan-Arab Investment
		The new bank is an independent satellite of the UBAF Group of banks, whose physical communications center is Paris, but whose philosophy spins around the almost spiritual concept of the development of the Arab World.
		The reason for reproducing the Arab stockholders is to show that with the exception of a few minor states, all of the major Arab oil producing countries — the countries with the petrodollars to spend and invest — are owners of the new bank.
		He went on: "The foreign bank to the Federal Reserve is a very strange animal." Because of the broad diversity of ownership of UBAF Arab American and its claim to independence of any parent organization, the banker said, the Fed was concerned over the dilution of responsibility in case anything went wrong.
