= Former Currency Unions =

Latin Monetary Union
The Latin Monetary Union involved, initially, several Western European nations. It later expanded to include much of Southern and Eastern Europe as well. Each nation valued its basic coin at 4.5 grams of silver or 0.290322 grams of gold. Each currency was subdivided into 100 units. It fell apart after the

Germanic Monetary Union
The Germanic Monetary Union was similar to the Latin Monetary Union, except that the units were not equal, but rather, in easy multiples of each other. The British pound was decimalized at the time of the creation of the Monetary Union. Previously, it had been divided as in the NAC. The pound was now divided as The British pound and the North American pound remained equal, but smaller units did not correspond Like the Latin Monetary Union, the British Monetary Union did not survive the Third Global War.
 * 1 Pound = 5 Thaler  = 10 Guilder/Florins (Austro-Hungary)
 * 1 pound = 10 florin = 100 (new) pence = 1000 (new) farthings
 * 1 thaler = 100 pfennige (1 thaler = 2 florin, 1 pfennig = 2 farthings)
 * 1 guilder = 100 hellers (1 guilder = 1 florin, 1 heller = 1 farthing)

Scandinavian Monetary Union
The Scandinavian Monetary Union was based on coins set at 6.25 grams called the Krone or Krona or Króna This too fell apart after the Third Global War
 * 1 Krona = 100 Öre
 * 1 Krone = 100 Øre
 * 1 Króna = 100 Oyrur
 * 1 Króna = 100 Aurar

European Monetary Union
The European Monetary Union was established shortly after the. All nations in the Union shared a common currency, the European Taler, divided into 100 Cents. 1 Taler was theoretically backed by 1 gram of gold (thus, NA$2=Eur$3). This fell apart in the 1950's into two separate currency unions, the Western European Monetary Union and the Eastern European Monetary Union

Western European Monetary Union
Fell apart in the 1970's as one after another, nations broke off, adopting new currencies
 * 1 Western Taler = 100 cents

Eastern European Monetary Union
Lasted longer than the WEMU, but eventually fell.
 * 1 Eastern Taler (later renamed Ruble) = 100 cents (later Kopecks)

East Asian Monetary Union
Another post-Second Eurasian War attempt at monetary union. All nations shared a common currency, the yen/yuan, divided into 100 xen/?. It was theoretically backed by 1 gram of gold.
