McCauley2 July 6, 2018 Abstract This study divides the world into currency zones according to the co-movement of each currency with the key currencies. The dollar zone groups economies that produce well over half of global GDP. The euro zone now includes almost all of Europe and some commodity producers, but remains less than half the size of the dollar zone. The dollar zone share has shown striking stability despite big shifts across zones over time. These include the demise of the sterling zone and the expansion of the DM/euro from northwestern Europe to Europe and beyond. Global imbalances look very different from a currency perspective. In the 2000s, the dollar zone’s current account improved as the dollar depreciated, even as the US current account plumbed all-time lows.

  • Statement of Rodney J. Bosco Navigant Consulting, Inc. On
    STATEMENT OF RODNEY J. BOSCO NAVIGANT CONSULTING, INC. ON THE “THE FUTURE OF MONEY: COIN PRODUCTION” BEFORE THE HOUSE FINANCIAL SERVICES SUBCOMMITTEE ON DOMESTIC MONETARY POLICY & TECHNOLOGY UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES APRIL 17, 2012 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee, my name is Rodney Bosco and I am a Director in the Disputes and Investigations practice at Navigant Consulting, Inc. (“Navigant”). I am pleased to testify today concerning our coin system, its cost drivers, and an analysis we conducted recently that identified approximately $200 million in annual cost savings if the United States moved to a steel‐based composition for our vended nickel, dime, and quarter. Navigant is an international consulting firm that provides independent, objective analysis of and opinions on accounting, financial and economic issues. Our report was commissioned by Jarden Zinc Products, North America’s leading plated coin blank producer and a licensee of the Royal Canadian Mint’s multi‐ply plated steel technology. We acknowledge the significant assistance of the Royal Canadian Mint (“RCM”) and Worthington Industries in the preparation of our analysis. As the Subcommittee examines ways to make our coins less expensively, and awaits the United States Mint’s recommendations on alternative metals later this year, our work has led us to three major conclusions which I want to share with you today. (1) Adoption of a multi‐ply plated steel composition for the vended five‐cent, dime and quarter‐dollar coins will reduce the per‐unit raw material costs of these coins by 84% to 89%, based on recent prices of copper, nickel and low‐carbon steel during the United States Mint’s 2011 fiscal year.

  • A Short History of the Lincoln Penny
    Read the passage. Then answer the question below. A Short History of the Lincoln Penny Few objects are more common than the Lincoln penny. On any given day, you probably have a few in your pocket or purse. The typical household in the United States has hundreds of pennies squirreled away in piggy banks, jars, and drawers. Everyone is familiar with the penny, but few people ever look at it closely or know much about its history. When the Lincoln penny made its appearance in 1909, it was the first American coin to show the portrait of a historical person. A few coins, such as the Indian Head penny and the Buffalo nickel, had portrayed anonymous Native Americans. Americans, however, had always opposed using coins to honor historical figures. The strong desire to celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s 100th birthday overcame this sentiment. Victor D. Brenner, a Chicago sculptor, contributed the design for the Lincoln penny. His simple, somewhat stark portrait of Lincoln was topped with the words, “In God We Trust.” This was the first time these words appeared on a penny. The word “Liberty,” as mandated by a law passed by Congress, appears to the left of Lincoln, and the date is on his right. Brenner’s initials—VDB—appeared under the date on the first coins. After the coin was released, however, Americans complained that the initials were too large and detracted from the overall design of the penny. So the U.S. Mint removed the initials. As a result, pennies made in 1909 are highly prized by rare coin collectors.

It's in the 2 binder, the presentation -- tab 7. 3 So to be clear, I'll be making this presentation 4 because, as Drikus said, unfortunately, Mitch Campbell, 5 who was the polar bear biologist, was unable to attend. 6 But I participated in this survey with Marcus and 7 Mitch Campbell, who also participated asked if I could 8 give the presentation. 9 I have provided parts of this presentation before 10 in discussions with the communities prior to the survey 11 taking place. So for some of you the slides should be 12 familiar. Okay. Next slide, please. 13 So some background that Marcus wanted to provide 14 was that the last western-based aerial survey took 15 place -- the results were provided in 2011, and at that 16 time Stapleton et al -- it would be Atkinson, Stephen 17 Atkinson -- presented a result or an estimate of about 18 1,000 polar bears for that population that you see 19 outlined by that red line. 20 At one of the last public hearings Nick Lunn, who 21 is here for Environment Canada, presented their most 22 recent analysis of Western Hudson Bay for a certain 23 period, and their analysis was quite complex. It 24 involved all of the mark recapture data that they 25 conduct, and it showed at that time that it had been 1 stable for the period, not necessarily the last decade, 2 because the time period has changed since then.

While drawing is often associated with pencil on paper, I drew onto a board toned with thin acrylic washes, then created layers using erasers and scalpels to remove pencil before applying more graphite. And, although portraits traditionally show one subject on a plain background, I combined multiple poses, sizes, and light sources, concentrating on directing the viewer’s gaze from one pose to the next. Furthermore, spending weeks under an active Harpy Eagle nest during the AFC Expedition was an unforgettable experience, as I had always dreamed of observing the most powerful bird of prey in its natural habitat. By portraying this threatened species, I hope to increase awareness of the key role its conservation plays in the maintenance of a healthy ecosystem. I often say that my ‘best painting’ will be my ‘next one’.
