Chronology Towards Single Global Currency

I personally think that these dates are used to give people a sense that it will be a while before things get implemented, however they may be implemented sooner that you we think.I also believe that creating SGB Single Global Currency Association is to ascertain how the world feels about it, a test so to speak on how the world accepts this new idea .Note the Survey at the front page of the website

Proposed to Goal

Proposed Schedule to the goal of 2024 (plus some predictions of later implementations)

This schedule is proposed to add realism to the idea that the goal of a single global currency is achievable by the year 2024. When proposed by Prof. Richard Cooper in 1984, as a monetary union among the industrialized countries in Foreign Affairs, he projected a 25 year schedule, which would have brought us to 2009.
