In February started the proposal for this coin but in april with 95 votes, the Senate authorized the issuance of a bimetallic coin with face value of 20 pesos, marking the 75th anniversary of the founding of the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN).

The opinion, endorsed without discussion, the IPN is a leading avant-garde in the training of technicians and professionals in the fields of administration, science, engineering and new technologies.

"He has served millions of Mexicans who have contributed to the scientific life, cultural, academic and research in Mexico," so it is necessary to recognize its work force since 1936, said the full Senate.

He noted the significant growth in the number of scientists from the IPN incorporated into the National System of Researchers (SNI) since 2003 to 2007 rose from 322 to 518, and in 2010 had 741 scientists assigned to the SNI.

Solidarity Currency in El Salvador

In the parish Sinincay, located about 15 minutes northwest of Cuenca, dozens of traders agreed since last April 10 at an alternative way to trade than the dollar, the UDI (Solidarity Exchange Unit) for the purchase of of certain premises in the area.

However, this system is already generating mixed reactions in the country. "The only means of payment or currency in Ecuador for financial transactions by financial institutions or through the dollar.Therefore, the circulation of money substitutes is prohibited and punishable by law. " This gave the Superintendency of Banks yesterday outside the payment system.

To some experts it is a parallel currency, which would represent a first step towards de-dollarization. In exchange for your minded is a complementary instrument operates successfully in other countries for the benefit of the popular economy and solidarity.

The UDI were printed on paper money in Holland, with assurances to prevent forgery. These can be redeemed by members of the credit union's Integral and can be used only in the parish, as long as they deliver dollars for what they have monetary support, said Javier Felix, Fundación Pachamama, one of the three entities that promote this pilot project. The other two are National Network of People and Solidarity Finance of Ecuador (Renafipse) and STRO organization of the Netherlands.

Felix explains, this kind of social currency or means of supplementary payments, manage to promote sales within the community and avoid unnecessary departure from the jurisdiction of foreign exchange and generate a sense of community.

The idea was that the sale of products made and delivered to a lower interest loans in UDI. So productive work at a fair on April 10 in which producers and partners exchanged their dollars for UDI, and made the trade. For Felix, there is no intention to create a system to replace the dollar.

In contrast to Mark Lopez, a former member of the Central Bank Board, this process involves the creation of a parallel currency with no real backing. In the case, for example to have a run in the cooperative, the lender can enter into liquidation by illiquidity.

For Lopez, what is happening is like what happened in Argentina with plantains and other parallel currencies that were created. "It's a monetization of the economy and is a step towards de-dollarization because currency is being issued without the backing for the country," he said.

According to the main Renafipse, Rodrigo Aucay, the Central Bank's role in this case lies in the monitoring and supervision of the project to complete it, point out strengths and weaknesses.

About 50 Sinincay traders involved in these exchanges are part of a cooperative agreement with the Integral. Their views are diverse.Viñanzaca Miriam, who owns a beauty salon, says few people who cancel their services with UDI, because in his view there is still mistrust.

Others are betting the method. "It's good that money does not go out of our parish, to try to keep the economy here and mobilize around the city," Orlando said Gordon, who owns a restaurant.

Coins and Banknotes of Paraguay could change

The council of ministers met with members of the Central Bank of Paraguay, who presented the project of modernization money.

He noted that three zeros be removed and change the name of our currency, which will be renamed "New Guarani."

He said that according to studies and once the project is approved, there is an estimated period of three years for full implementation and change.

"It's going to socialize through the press, and social actors, then you have to submit to Congress a draft law, after the approval of the bill sets a deadline of three years to draw from ancient coin circulation and implement the new coin, with the new name Guarani, "said Secretary of State.

The project was presented by the head of the Central Bank of Paraguay, Jorge Corvalan, and key technicians of the parent bank.

Only in South America with six digits

According to the BCP, the redenomination plan seeks to eliminate three zeros from the Guarani to facilitate economic transactions in the country and will also serve to unify our currency in the form of present prices compared to owning other values ​​of region in relation to the scope of the exchange rate (dollar).

They explained how the Central Bank, Paraguay is one of seven countries in the world have in their monetary cone banknotes in denominations of six digits or more, and only in South America, the fact that, among other things, difficult to understand the level of prices, wages and other aspects that make the local economy.

Balboa returns to Panama

lunes, 17 de enero de 2011


Panamanian authorities have confirmed that prepare Balboa coinage, the national currency to circulate alongside the U.S. dollar. The head of the Procurement and Contracting Unit, Ministry of Economy and Finance, José Ramón Fernández, said the project foresees the designation coinage of one and two Dollars.

The proposal supports the circulation of coins with the same nominal value of the dollar to reduce costs by managing the foreign currency as legal tender in Panama since 1904, has served the international banking system development.

Today, Panama coins minted 50, 25, 10, five cents and a penny for the same weight and size of its U.S. peers, but not until now that boom takes the initiative to be put into circulation the balboa.

Early Dollars printed on paper or metal wedged circular stopped decades ago, when the Panamanian economy was still small and became overwhelming presence of the dollar. Fernández predicted that "all banks established in Panama accepted the new balboa and use it with the same nominal value of the U.S. dollar without restriction, as it is done with free circulation coins.

Some people consulted by the page Américaeconomica.com considered that this is an unrealistic step and do not opt for replacement. Gustavo Chacin, V Finance invesment, receurda that Panama has no central bank and that "the replacement of the dollar is not viable. It would be suicide for the country because you do not.The debt is dollarized, so that replacement by balboa no sense. "

Chacin believes this is an issue returns to the debate every so often. "It's a nationalistic debate meaningless, he said. The dollar came into force in Panama when Panama's economy was still small and it was overwhelming presence of the dollar. At present, the country's economy reached 20,000 million dollars of GDP, which, according Chacin, remains low.

Minister Fernandez said that the Panamanian government to the United States pays a high cost for the return of damaged notes, and they have a lifespan of nine months to a year ago. Panama added that the dollar it costs to acquire the United States. However, to circulate the U.S. dollar in Panama, Mexico, through the National Bank of Panama to purchase face value in its various denominations, and must bear all freight and insurance costs implicit in the import operation themselves.

The same occurs with the U.S. dollar coins because they are the owners of the right of the perceived usefulness of the cost of minting the coin and the face or nominal value that represents the same, which is known as seigniorage .

Panama only get seigniorage in national currencies are balboa Dollars or fractions, ie when the service contract coinage minting a house.

In that sense, Panama only benefits from seigniorage (which can be very significant in currencies like one or two Dollars and it is planned), when asked to mint its own coins to a mint instead of importing all euro notes and coins from the United States of America, and give all this utility to the U.S. government.
