US might use the Euro?

I was just watching the enws, and some guys were talking about how the US might convert over to using the euro and get rid of the dollar, because the dollar value is so low. They think that by using the Euro that it would increase standards of living and fix alot of money problems we got now.

What do you guys think about this?

i think if that happened it couldnt be called the euro anymore as it would be defeating the purpose.

It will never happen. American public would pride themselves on the $ anyway, much as britian has down with the £.

lmao I can tell you right now that it's not going to happen.

The EURO is only worth about 8 cents more than the dollar.

And converting to the EURO isn't going to descrease anyones problems. Economics doesn't work like that. The value of the dollar is based on the total amount of worth of the united states.

It's hard to explain in simple terms, but as long as the two governments are seperate this wouldn't happen.

Pure speculation and imho it's the worst idea since Mr Hitler suggested to Mrs Hitler that they go upstairs and have some boom boom.

its gonna be hard as hell trying to exchange the country's money into Euro. Its never gonna happen anyway

Circulating new bills is hard enough, let alone changing the whole entire currency.

..Once the Euro comes, then what will the Canadian Dollar be? ... Oh well, Canada would probably jump the on the wagon if the US did it.

Think about it c'mon.......it's rediculous. We "were going to convert to the metric system". Did that ever happen? NO! Hell, the metric system would be alot easier to convert to than changing currency.

cashwarsplaya · 04-15-2003, 06:59 PM

thats the stupidest thing ive ever heard. Why would the united states give up its monetary system, arguably the best and most stable in the world. Our money makes a lot of the world's economies and industry work, it sounds pretentious, but its true. We would not simply abondon our 200+ year old currency for a year old european euro.

A lot of schools have copnverted to the metric system, mine included. Every thing is measured in centimeters and stuff. Wasnt it actually passed that we would convert to metric and then something fucked it up though?

A lot of car manufacturers build their cars in metric, but I don't think we will ever see signs like

Dallas: 177 km
Tyler: 23 km
Kilgore: 12 km

That would be too damn hard for me.
