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.
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.

Did anything bad turn out? NEIN!!! (not to my knowledge biggrin: )
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.
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?
