Internationally traded currencies have included those from major economic and imperial powers. The Swiss Franc has been used as a reserve currency as well because of the country's role in world banking. Could other countries have gone on to have their currency play a wider role in the world economy?

Could the Boer Republics have been able to create an internationally traded currency backed by their gold reserves? What about the Ottoman Empire levering its petroleum to help strengthen its currency to pay for modernization projects? Perhaps the Canadian Dollar could become internationally desirable due to Canada's breadth and depth of exports?
