"The Economist" 1988 cover predicts world currency by 2018

[TreasureHunter]

"Phoenix" the new currency?

Many will say it'll be Bitcoin. I don't know... One thing is sure: it ain't the dollar, nor the yen or other fiat currency!

Looks like gold to me.

Actually looks more like gold coin to be. 10,000 whatever to one gold coin?

 

[TreasureHunter]

To me as well, looks like a gold coin with the "phi" symbol on it.

As for cryptos: it's odd, but there is actually a less popular "phoenixcoin" (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/phoenixcoin/)

The Golden Ratio, "Phi", = 1.618
So the exchange rate for new currency will be 10 x 1.618 to one..... or 16.18:1
.......something like that
