Ahmadinejad is to meet Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president, later on Monday to discuss the issue.
Chavez echoed Ahmadinejad's sentiment, saying "the empire of the dollar has to end".
Opec's summit in Riyadh ended on Sunday with leaders divided over whether to dump the dollar as a currency to price and sell oil.

I dunno Brad, where it's gonna go. But the US, Canada, and Mexico "unify" currencies in 2010... a couple years down the road. Canada ships 60% of its crude to he US right now, thanks to the NAFTA rules some years back. Mexico is in the same boat, shipping their crude north.
The "giat, sucking sound" that fllow from Texas said, Ross Perot,has been busy himself, (his son especially) landing the free trade contracts thru NAFTA enablers.
The dollar is in an "intentional freefall" because what can the rest of the world do about it?
If they (OPEC) denominate their currencies to the Euro... what's the point? The Euro countries have NO OIL THEMSELVES!!
But they, the Euros have all the nuclear weapon stockpiles... submarines, surface carriers, bombers etc.
As long as the regular people allow their faces to be pinned below the "jackboot", all is fair in international commerce.
The OPEC countries need to "unify" their own currencies to keep their collective heads about the petty politics of Big Brother interventions. Saudi Arabia know they are about to be carved-up, they are watching it unfold in Iraq (kurd, sunni shia), and Pakistan which is about to lose their southwestern portion (Balochistan) all the reasons why the Euro "allies" are in the south (Helmand Province) ready to takeover Balochistan. NATO ain't playing cat-and-mouse (chess) anymore, they want to be the Chess Master, way beyond the control of The Queen...
The War Machine (aka western powers) rumbles thru the Middle East every few decades to keep "democracy" from springing forth. Note WW1, WW2, Suez Crises of 1956, the phony Israel-country setup, Libya intrigues from 1969 to present, Gulf War 1, Gulf 2, Kuwait was carved out in 1960, thanks to Queen Elizabeth 2.
Intentional freefall.
