Strongest currency in the world is?

The Kuwait dinar is the highest valued currency in the world. As of Feb. 3, 2011 one Kuwait dinar was worth $3.57 American dollars. I do not know if that makes it the strongest. The Australian dollar and the Canadian dollar are currently valued at $1.01. Both currencies are considered strong because the countries have very low national debts. The countries also have very productive precious metal mines, which could enable those countries to quickly shift to gold or silver supported currencies, should a worldwide monetary crisis arise.


Who is the eye witness of thomas beckets murder?

There were several witnesses (including the four knights that King Henry sent to do the murder). The best-know witness account is by a man named Edward Grim."...The wicked knight leapt suddenly upon him, cutting off the top of the crown which the unction of sacred chrism had dedicated to God. Next he received a second blow on the head, but still he stood firm and immovable. At the third blow he fell on his knees and elbows, offering himself a living sacrifice, and saying in a low voice, 'For the name of Jesus and the protection of the Church, I am ready to embrace death.' But the third knight inflicted a terrible wound as he lay prostrate. By this stroke, the crown of his head was separated from the head in such a way that the blood white with the brain, and the brain no less red from the blood, dyed the floor of the cathedral. The same clerk who had entered with the knights placed his foot on the neck of the holy priest and precious martyr, and, horrible to relate, scattered the brains and blood about the pavements, crying to the others, 'Let us away, knights; this fellow will arise no more.' "(Quote source: Christopher Lee This Sceptred Isle 55BC - 1901 (1997) p.73 )
