A good point. We should recall that WWI started because the assassin of the
Archduke of Herzegovena complained about how pissed off he was when he had
to change zlotys into mjergs everytime he crossed borders to go to work. To
really find out about this very important but neglected explanation for the
cause of WWI, I recommend the article, "Currency conflicts: a heuristic to
the first Imperialst War," contained in the Autumn, 1991 Journal of Marxist
Studies on Eastern European Currency. The author, Hukkalaka Meshabob, was
an important leader of the Trotskyist current in Bulgaria that was loyal to
Juan Posadas, the Argentinian leader who believed that UFOs were proof that
communism existed on other planets.
