    "March 2007
    The Scotsman reported that China's state-run Zhuhai Zhenrong Corp, the biggest buyer of Iranian crude worldwide, began paying for its oil in euros late last year. Iranian officials have said for months that more than half the OPEC member's customers switched their payment currency away from the dollar as Tehran seeks to diversify its reserves, but news of the Zhenrong change is the first outside confirmation. Japan have also announced that they would be willing to switch to Yen from US Dollars. Iran's central banker announced in March 2007 that Iran had cut its holding of U.S.-dollar assets to around 20% of its foreign reserves in response to U.S. hostility.

    July 2007
    Iran asked Japan to pay for its oil purchases in Japanese Yen.

    September 2007
    Japan's Nippon Oil has agreed to buy Iranian oil using yen."


    Further to your point (which many may have missed), from what I read the (so-called) rising euro-dollar has for much of this century remained remarkable stable per barrel of oil. However it is that 'glass castle' the US$ which has plummeted in value when measured against the true universal financial arbiter, which is hydrocarbons

    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

What I am saying was if the British treated the war as a necessity to win, they would have won almost certainly.

    Henk I invite you and others to sample (at least some of) this highly informative audio interview with the author of the acclaimed book cited in my previous link, Petrodollar Warfare by William R Clark

    Although extensive (48 minutes) I found it absolutely fascinating and commend it to anyone as well worth listening to
