Well, a lot of things changed since 2007. The book turned out to be larger even than Robert Jordan expected. Consequently, it will be published in three parts. Part 1, The Gathering Storm, will be released on November 3, 2009. Parts 2 and 3, as yet untitled, will be released in 2010 and 2011. Keep watching the main news page updates.

Now that Brandon Sanderson is finishing the main chronology, will any of these books be written and published? Here is what Brandon has to say on the subject: http://www.brandonsanderson.com/faq/section/3/Wheel-Of-Time-FAQ It will be Harriet McDougal's decision, with some input from Tor, as to whether or not any will be written and by whom (though Brandon is the obvious choice and is willing). In any case, the focus now is on finishing the main chronology. No decision, one way or the other, is expected until well after the main books are completed and published, at least two or three more years.

So Orbit will publish the final Wheel of Time book in the UK.

"This varies from country to country, along with the sizes and weights of the various coins, the reason that bankers and others - such as Bran al'Vere - use scales for comparing coins. The heaviest coins in weight of precious metal come from Andor and Tar Valon. For the coins of those two, the scale is very simple.

Ten copper pennies = one silver penny.
One hundred silver pennies = one silver mark.
Ten silver marks = one silver crown.
Ten silver crowns = one gold mark.
Ten gold marks = one gold crown.

As an example of other countries' currencies, the scale for Altara, where the weight of silver or gold in larger coins is less than that in Andor or Tar Valon, is this:

Ten copper pennies = one silver penny.
Twenty-one silver pennies = one silver mark.
Twenty silver marks = one silver crown.
Twenty silver crowns = one gold mark.
Twenty gold marks = one gold crown."
