Excerpt from an economics text from 2800 A.D.:

   "The introduction of a single world currency, the now familiar naxos,
   is shrouded in mystery.  It appears that it was introduced, initially
   in Australia, by a cult called the "cd-ers", working under the tutelage
   of a sage known as Klaus.  Attempts to identify this Klaus with the
   legendary Santa Klaus are not convincing, although writings in which
   he is mentioned portray as benign and generous, just like Santa."
