'''Acmetal''', alternately '''Akmetal''' or "'''AC metal'''", meaning "peak capital" or "best capital" is a universal currency that was proposed by [[Kazakhstan]]'s President [[Nursultan Nazarbayev]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
Akmetal is a portmanteau of the Greek word “acme” – the highest point or zenith – and “capital.”<br />
<br />
==Reaction==<br />
A one-global currency prompts the creation of a one-global central bank to manage the currency, thereby superseding the authority of national central banks like the [[Federal Reserve]] in the United States and the [[European Central Bank]].<br />
<br />
The A.P. said: Nazarbayev’s proposal has raised eyebrows in some quarters, but the idea was embraced by [[Robert Mundell]], who won the Nobel prize for economics in 1999 for helping lay the theoretical groundwork for [[Euro|Europe’s single currency]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2009/03/11/ap6152509.html|title=Kazakh leader calls for single global currency|last=Leonard|first=Peter|publisher=Forbes|date=November 3, 2009}}</ref> “It would be a very good idea if the G-20 took that idea up in London,” Mundell said.<br />
<br />
The [[International Monetary Fund]] said that the currency idea was "interesting, but poorly explored."<ref>http://www.slate.com/id/2300317/entry/2300322/</ref><br />
