Terry, one possible outcome is that some stability is returning to Indonesia and the rest of SE Asia. All the markets are reacting positively now. The "flight to safety" of US dollars may stop. If the US Dollar declines, it's bullish for Gold. This is only temporary though, it's hard to say how long it would last.

Here Come the Fake Euros Hologram stamp stolen A HIGH-security hologram stamp designed to protect 13 billion new euro notes from forgery has been stolen from an Air France jet, prompting fears that counterfeiters are already equipping themselves to flood Europe with fake euros. The one-off original stamp, needed to make the holograms embedded in the euro notes when they are issued in January 2002, was entrusted to Air France in Paris by the Brink's security firm on May 12 and placed in the hold of the Paris-Munich flight AF 2522. On arrival in Munich, Air France staff discovered that the small, 2lb parcel containing the stamp was missing and raised the alarm. A search of the plane yielded no clues and Air France says it cannot be sure if the package was taken in Paris, where the flight was delayed for 20 minutes, or in Munich. Yesterday, an Air France spokesman confirmed that the company had been aware of the contents of the package, which was under "specific surveillance". The airline, which is legally responsible for the theft, has filed criminal charges against "persons unknown". The stamp was made by Hologramme Industries, a small French firm near Marne-la-Valle‚. It was on its way to a German company, based near Munich, which will be printing the first euro notes. Their introduction on January 1, 2002, represents an opportunity for any fraudster sharp enough to make a plausible copy of the high denomination 500 euro and 200 euro notes - which will be worth around œ350 and œ140 each.
