The recent slide in the external value of the US dollar, and the consequent volatility of exchange rates associated with this, has once again raised the appropriateness of the current, rather ad hoc, arrangements by which the key currencies of the world economy are linked together.

In this article, therefore, we take the current backdrop of currency volatility as a motivation for reexamining the case for the
