You'd have to be off your rocker to think that the U.S. would EVER merge currencies with the economic disaster that is Mexico Quote:
First, Mexico is an economic disaster zone with rampant corruption and nonsense being the rule of the day. Regarding the corruption and nonsense, agreed. However, I wouldn't go as far as saying Mexico is an economic disaster after all the Mexian Peso is the most traded currency in Latin America, third in the Americas and the 12th most traded currency in the world. But, yes I do believe that the it would NOT be in the interests of the US or Canada to merge currencies with a weaker economy/currency like Mexico's and I don't see any desire on the part of Mexico to give up the old Peso, as a matter of fact there's some debate to bring back Silver which would be awesome!

At the moment, petrol is very expensive at $1.48 per litre or $6.72 per gallon (4.54 litres in our gallons). Steve  |

That would make it $5.60 for one of our gallons.

My wife and I travel 40,000K each (minimum) simply to get to and from work. That's a problem with living over 40k from work. While our currency remains just above parity with the USD, petrol will remain at about $1.50. If we return to (say) 85c/USD$1, we'll be look at about $2 a litre.  So while our dollar is high...VIVA LA OZ! and your all welcome to come on down and visit.  |

I bought one of the 20 Amero coins in 2009 when the year's set first came out. I figured, hey it's solid copper, why not?  |

For all of the U.S. economy's woes, it must not be forgotten that the U.S. dollar is still by far the most used and respected of the World's reserve currencies.
