Date/Time:  25/03/2010, 10am

Venue:  Barnard's Inn Hall

Long Finance aims to 'improve society's understanding and use of finance over the long-term'.  The Eternal Coin is a Long Finance thought experiment that speculates on whether a coin that never loses value could exist and, if such a coin could exist, how might it be constructed.  In a recent publication for Long Finance, 'In Search Of The Eternal Coin: A Long Finance View Of History', Dr Malcolm Cooper explored the background to the thought experiment and society's values over the long-term, constructing five different 'coins'.  At this symposium Malcolm will highlight elements of his paper before a more general discussion, followed by a reception.

Alpheus, City of London Corporation, Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment, London Accord, Z/Yen Group

This symposium is one of several discussion events following on from the 02010 Long Finance Conference.
