MilitiaMan: Currency Rates are mechanisms. Bonds are mechanisms, bonds have interest rates associated with them, the are liquid assets just as currency, that can be traded on the secondary markets.. Looks like they are even mentioning the banks international interface as the vehicle to do so.. The bonds will be for local and or global availability. They even have an open for business sign out (lol) for all days of the week to keep things flowing from now on, even taking into account the epidemic. imo ~ MM
