spesmilo
The spesmilo (pronounced , plural spesmiloj ) is an obsolete decimal international currency, proposed in 1907 by René de Saussure and used before the First World War by a few British and Swiss banks, primarily the ''Ĉekbanko esperantista''.
The ''spesmilo'' was equivalent to one thousand ''spesoj'', and worth of pure gold (0.8 grams of 22 karat gold), which at the time was about one-half United States dollar, two shillings in Britain, one Russian ruble, or 2½ Swiss francs. On 19 January 2014, that quantity of gold would be worth about $33 U.S. dollars,〔(XE.com exchange rate XAU to USD ). 19 January 2014.〕 £22 British pounds,〔(XE.com exchange rate XAU to GBP ). 19 January 2014.〕 ₽2137 Russian rubles,〔(XE.com exchange rate XAU to RUB ). 19 January 2014.〕 and SFr 29 Swiss francs.〔(XE.com exchange rate XAU to CHF ). 19 January 2014.〕
The basic unit, the ''speso'' (from Italian ''spesa'' or German ''Spesen''; ''spesmilo'' is Esperanto for "a thousand pennies"), was purposely made very small to avoid fractions: (on 19 January 2014) U.S. $0.033 or 3.3¢, U.K. £0.022, Russia ₽2.137, Switzerland SFr 0.029.
==Sign==
The Spesmilo character , called ''Spesmilsigno'' in Esperanto, is a monogram of a cursive capital "S", from whose tail emerges an "m".〔(Proposal to encode the Esperanto SPESMILO SIGN in the UCS ), by Michael Everson〕 The currency sign is often typeset as the separate letters ''Sm''.〔(Esperanto and the Dream of a World Currency )〕 The character has been assigned the Unicode codepoint 〔(Proposed New Characters - Pipeline Table )〕 and is included in Unicode version 5.2.〔Andrew West, (BabelStone: What's new in Unicode 5.2? )〕
