US Currency Trading
Gold held steady today as pressure from profit taking and weakening safe haven demand was an offset by a sharp fall in the US dollar, an alternative asset to the yellow metal.
The American currency dropped against the euro after the EU hammered out a deal to stem the debt crisis that has depressed the markets for months.
EU policymakers have agreed to increase the size of the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) to €1 trillion, write down half of the Greek debt owned by private bondholders and called for European banks to raise €106 billion of additional capital.
Traders were jittery ahead of the summit after media reports suggested that euro zone member were still at odds over a few key issues, including how to increase the bailout fund. Gold hit five week highs just before the summit kicked off as investors used it to protect wealth.
The long-awaited comprehensive plan to combat the debt crisis has boosted appetite for riskier assets, triggering a rally in stock markets, while safe haven assets such as the US dollar were out of favour.
Gold traded at US$1,727/oz this afternoon, up just US$2 from Wednesday’s close. Silver rallied 93 cents to US$34.30/oz and platinum advanced US$21 to US$1,614/oz.
Today’s top risers in the sector were:
Norseman Gold (LON:NGL), up 10.5 percent at 7.02 pence at midday
Arian Silver Corp (LON:AGQ), up 10 percent at 25.35 pence
Caledonia Mining (LON:CMCL), up 9.5 percent at 5.75 pence
Solomon Gold (LON:SOLG), up 9.5 percent at 15.99 pence
Aquarius Platinum (LON:AQP), up 9 percent at 194.34 pence
The top fallers were:
GMA Resources (LON:GMA), down 18 percent at 0.102 pence at midday
Bezant Resources (LON:BZT), down 9 percent at 29.15 pence
Alecto Minerals (LON:ALO), down 6 percent at 2 pence
Central Rand Gold (LON:CRND), down 5.5 percent at 0.43 pence
Hummingbird Resources (LON:HUM), down 5.5 percent at 129 pence

USD Money
The United States dollar (sign: $; code: USD) is the unit of currency of the United States. The U.S. dollar is normally abbreviated as the dollar sign, $, or as USD or US$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies and from others that use the $ symbol. It is divided into 100 cents (200 half-cents prior to 1857).
The U.S. dollar is the currency most used in international transactions. Several countries use it as their official currency, and in many others it is the de facto currency.
The first dollar coins issued by the United States Mint (founded 1792) were similar in size and composition to the Spanish dollar. The Spanish and U.S. silver dollars circulated side by side in the United States, and the Spanish dollar remained legal tender until 1857. The coinage of various English colonies also circulated. The lion dollar was popular in the Dutch New Netherland Colony (New York), but the lion dollar also circulated throughout the English colonies during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Examples circulating in the colonies were usually worn so that the design was not fully distinguishable, thus they were sometimes referred to as "dog dollars".

American Currency US Dollar
The first dollar coins issued by the United States Mint (founded 1792) were similar in size and composition to the Spanish dollar. The Spanish, U.S. silver dollars, and Mexican silver pesos circulated side by side in the United States, and the Spanish dollar and Mexican peso remained legal tender until 1857. The coinage of various English colonies also circulated. The lion dollar was popular in the Dutch New Netherland Colony (New York), but the lion dollar also circulated throughout the English colonies during the 17th century and early 18th century. Examples circulating in the colonies were usually worn so that the design was not fully distinguishable, thus they were sometimes referred to as "dog dollars".
The U.S. dollar was created by the Constitution and defined by the Coinage Act of 1792. It specified a "dollar" to be based in the Mexican peso at 1 dollar per peso and between 371 and 416 grains (27.0 g) of silver (depending on purity) and an "eagle" to be between 247 and 270 grains (17 g) of gold (again depending on purity). The choice of the value 371 grains arose from Alexander Hamilton's decision to base the new American unit on the average weight of a selection of worn Spanish dollars (and later Mexican peso). Hamilton got the treasury to weigh a sample of Spanish dollars and the average weight came out to be 371 grains. A new Spanish dollar was usually about 377 grains in weight, and so the new U.S. dollar was at a slight discount in relation to the Spanish dollar. The gold equivalent of the Spanish dollar in sterling was ₤1 = $4.80, whereas the gold equivalent of the U.S. dollar was ₤1 = 4.86⅔. This exchange rate with sterling remained right up until Britain abandoned the gold standard in 1931. Hamilton and Franklin are the only two people depicted on the US dollar, who were not presidents.
The Coinage Act of 1792 set the value of an eagle at 10 dollars, and the dollar at 1/10 eagle. It called for 90% silver alloy coins in denominations of 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/10, and 1/20 dollars; it called for 90% gold alloy coins in denominations of 1, 1/2, 1/4, and 1/10 eagles.
The value of gold or silver contained in the dollar was then converted into relative value in the economy for the buying and selling of goods. This allowed the value of things to remain fairly constant over time, except for the influx and outflux of gold and silver in the nation's economy.
The early currency of the USA did not exhibit faces of presidents, as is the custom now. In fact, George Washington was against having his face on the currency, a practice he compared to the policies of European monarchs.[citation needed] The currency as we know it today did not get the faces they currently have until after the early 20th century; before that "heads" side of coinage used profile faces and striding, seated, and standing figures from Greek and Roman mythology and composite native Americans. The last coins to be converted to profiles of historic Americans were the dime (1946) and the Dollar (1971).

British Pounds Currency 2011
The pound was a unit of account in Anglo-Saxon England, equal to 240 silver pennies and equivalent to one pound weight of silver. It evolved into the modern British currency, the pound sterling.
The accounting system of 4 farthings = 1 penny, 12 pence = 1 shilling, 20 shillings = 1 pound was adopted from that introduced by Charlemagne to the Frankish Empire (see French livre).
The origins of sterling lie in the reign of King Offa of Mercia, (757–96) who introduced the silver penny. It copied the denarius of the new currency system of Charlemagne's Frankish Empire. As in the Carolingian system, 240 pennies weighed 1 pound (corresponding to Charlemagne's libra), with the shilling corresponding to Charlemagne's solidus and equal to 12d. At the time of the penny's introduction, it weighed 22.5 troy grains of fine silver (30 tower grains; about 1.5 g), indicating that the Mercian pound weighed 5,400 troy grains (the Mercian pound became the basis of the tower pound, which weighed 5,400 troy grains, equivalent to 7,200 tower grains). At this time, the name sterling had yet to be acquired. The penny swiftly spread throughout the other Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and became the standard coin of what was to become England.
