Due to all the fallout from the massive credit crunch, confidence in our fiat currencies will be massively dented. Will this give rise to a new opportunity for an internet based and truly international currency to evolve?

Edited to add:

Just found this by searching google.

I dunno bout processed ham as currency though!

E-Gold have been raided by the feds a few times recently.

They really don't like competition.

When the fed is ******ed though, Egold and the like might fill the gap. (The trick then being to make sure they don't become the FED in future.)

More locally, you can make a time money system between yourself or for tradesmen in the local area, swapping time for time accross professions and there are a fewer other ways out there to manufacture your own currency system.
