Gaddafi's Gold Dinar Currency: The Legacy and Its Threat to Western Powers. The world of international finance is a complex and often opaque, dominated by a handful of powerful countries and institutions. For decades, the U.S. dollar has been the dominant currency in this system, allowing the United States to exert significant influence over the global economy and maintain its position as a superpower. However, in the early 2000s, one man sought to challenge this dominance and create an alternative currency that would empower developing countries and challenge the status quo. That man was Muammar Gaddafi, the former leader of Libya, and the currency he sought to create was the gold dinar.
