@dubbub @TrevorGoodchild @Hertz @brigrammer @BattleDwarfGimli @PraxisOfEvil @sickburnbro None of those had anywhere near the scope of the petro-dollar. One of the ones that came the closest, and is interestingly not on that list, was the old Reichsbank marks which became a de facto "global currency" in Europe due to Germany paying off their reparations with them. Contrary to popular belief, the currency blew up not (directly) because of the reparations but because Germany was able to print up infinite debt while suffering only comparatively minor issues in comparison...until the whole scheme fell apart 🙄
