The move comes as the dollar heads toward a 14-month low of $1.50/euro and as some top fund managers, including some of President Obama'stop financial supporters, worry the decline will continue as long as Obama  depends on China to fund trillion dollar budget deficits.

It is Obama's  promise to participate in a G20 nations agreement by giving $250 billion to the IMF to set up the alternative reserve currency that now has been documented in the final communiqué of the London meeting, according to the G20 website.

At G20.org, a report under "The London Summit 2009" reveals the LondonSummit.gov.uk/en/ site where "Point 5" of the final communiqué says the G20 agreed to allocate that amount to Special Drawing Rights in a move calculated to provide the liquidity needed to position SDRs as a dollar alternative in international trade.
