1716: Esperanto Money Aug 26, 2019

Esperanto and globalism—particularly pan-Europeanism—have always gone hand in hand. While the Euro was not created for Esperanto, Esperantists have before tried to create currencies, namely the spesmilo and the stelo, the former of which was used by a real cheque bank. In 1907 the Ĉekbanko Esperantista was founded for the Spesmilo in London. Many have called the Euro 'Esperanto money', and in a way this is not so wrong.
