The Fed Prints Dollars. The ECB Prints Euros. The IMF Prints SDRs. What the heck is an SDR?
Submitted by RobHino on Sun, 03/10/2013 - 20:03The Federal Reserve (Fed) prints dollars. The European Central Bank (ECB) prints Euros. And the International Monetary Fund (IMF) prints SDR's. What the heck is an SDR?!
An SDR is a Special Drawing Right.
Here is a video directly from the IMF's Factsheet on SDRs: http://bcove.me/7qou4729

According to Wikipedia, and SDR is defined as:
Special drawing rights (SDRs) are supplementary foreign exchange reserve assets defined and maintained by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Not a currency, SDRs instead represent a claim to currency held by IMF member countries for which they may be exchanged. As they can only be exchanged for euros, Japanese yen, pounds sterling, or US dollars, SDRs may actually represent a potential claim on IMF member countries' nongold foreign exchange reserve assets, which are usually held in those currencies. While they may appear to have a far more important part to play, or, perhaps, an important future role, being the unit of account for the IMF has long been the main function of the SDR.
Created in 1969 to supplement a shortfall of preferred foreign exchange reserve assets, namely gold and the US dollar, the value of a SDR is defined by a weighted currency basket of four major currencies: the US dollar, the euro, the British pound, and the Japanese yen. SDRs are denoted with the ISO 4217 currency code XDR.
SDRs are allocated to countries by the IMF. Private parties do not hold or use them. As of March 2011, the amount of SDRs in existence is around XDR 238.3 billion, but this figure is expected to rise to XDR 476.8 billion by 2013.
I still didn't understand what SDR's are, so I kept digging...

I'm still researching, but thought I'd see if anyone here at the DP has any information to share on this topic.

The Origins of the IMF and World Bank
The World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) were created at the end of World War II by the U.S. and British governments....
The unwritten goal of the IMF and World Bank was to integrate the elites of all countries into the capitalist world system of rewards and punishments. ... controlled by the IMF and World Bank... (often by cutting social spending), selling off publicly owned assets ("privatization") and devaluing the currency...

Study the Bretton Woods system
The IMF is supposed to be the Central Banker's central bank and SDR’s are their fiat currency. This means that they only conduct business between central banks to facilitate the Balance of payments between countries. I recommend you learn this well considering this is how countries go bankrupt. The US has a Balance of payments deficit of about 10 trillion dollars with the rest of the world…….you think the budget deficits are our problem…..you better hope you never hear about this deficit in the news………when you do...... it will be all over.
The Universal Postal Union
The Universal Postal Union and International Monetary Fund are two core institutions of the New World Order of global commerce.
The IMF's SDR is the unit of account for the UPU. If you want to know why US postal service stamps contain certain features, refer to the section of UPU regulations for stamps which would be Article 8.
Articles of mail containing offers to contract are the primary vehicle incorporated government uses to establish jurisdiction. You accepted their mail.
The agenda is pretty simple. Global standards for commerce to simplify the hurdles of regional or national cultures. I would argue governments have risen because people want regional uniformity in commerce. Global government caters to the same human demand. A uniform global code.
USPS has a chart:
323.6 Preparation of Insured Priority Mail International Parcels
See Exhibit 323.62 for a table showing the conversion of U.S. dollar values up to $600 to SDR equivalents. To determine SDR equivalents above $600, multiply the insured amount, rounded up to the next full dollar, by the conversion factor of 0.6502.
Note: Use the following rates when converting between U.S. dollars and SDR values:
1 U.S. $ = 0.6502 SDR
1 SDR = $1.54 ($1.5379 U.S.)
