For years, nationalists and end-times conspiracy theorists have been suspicious of such global institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, the Global Criminal Court, etc. The fear has been that such organizations will eventually lead to a single world government that will trump all national laws. This has been regularly ridiculed by supporters of these international institutions as paranoid.
But now, people are beginning to talk about a "global currency" as a way to combat the current economic climate. A dictator once said something like, "Let me control the courts and the currency, and that gives me control of everything else." (Sorry, Google could not find the original quote quickly.) How long until an international bureaucracy is dictating the laws that control the lives of everyday Americans?
Or are we just being paranoid again?

Generally I think it's paranoia. Look at how well the Euro is working out for Europe in the current crisis. Lots of people in Europe are talking about moving away from the Euro because it's hurting national banks to be connected to it. So, I think that while the paranoia of a one world currency is reasonable, it's still paranoia.
The UN already has children's rights ideas that are supposed to be mandatory for all member nations.
Things keep being added to take control away from strong nations.
Found 2 that could be what you're looking for and one similar, but not the one you're referencing:
"Give me the right to issue and control a nation's money and I care not who governs the country." Meyer Amschal Rothschild, International banker
"Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce." James A. Garfield
"Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money and control credit, and with a flick of a pen they will create enough to buy it back." Sir Josiah Stamp, former President, Bank of England
In this case you have Russia and China talking about it together. Anything that China suggests it might be willing to support immediately takes on larger implications for the future.
I don't it's paranoia. I don't believe it will happen soon...but I do believe it will happen..
One word: Revelations
