Not only the Chinese Central Bank wants to be away from the dollar. Facebook, the powerful social network of Mark Zuckerberg, has announced the adoption of 13 new currencies to its advertising platform.
In the coming weeks, advertisers will pay in Australian Dollar (AUD), British Pound (GBP), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Chilean Peso (CLP), Euro (EUR), Danish Krone (DKK), Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), Japanese Yen (JPY), Norwegian Krone (NOK), Swedish Krona (SEK), Turkish lira (TRY), Venezuelan Bolivar (VEF) and even in Swiss Frank (CHF).
