We now have the Euro but why not the AMEURO?

[StormRider]

Maybe the US should join in and we can call the new money AMEURO -- short for American EURO. What do you guys think of my idea?

 

[ViperMagic]

sure

 

[woodie1]

<< What do you guys think of my idea? >>



Not much.

 

[NakaNaka]

bad joke ...

and if your serious then it would be dumb considering that the US Dollar is stronger than the Euro is by about 10 cents and America has nothing to gain from it.

 

[OS]

Bastardize the American dollar by breeding it with Eurocrap? Yeah right.

 

[laFiera]

no way....
europeans claim they got history, culture, fashion...blah blah blah...
well, we still got the mighty dollar!

 

[thebestMAX]

PLEASE-

Dont give them any ideas!!!

Ill changa everything I own into gold bullion first!

Watch the chaos the Euro brings in the next few years.

The dollar is the most widely accepted and stable currancy in the world.
Other contries have an incentive to pin their currancy to the dollar, but the US has no reason to pin the dollar to anyone else's.
The US is in a unique position in world currancy, untill there is a more stable or widely accepted one, the US will not, and should not do anything.

Not to insult you, but that is as meaningless as saying the Euro is 65 cents stronger than the quarter.
BOTH are arbitray divisions of the money supply.
It might make sense to compare money supply, inflation, GNP, and velocity.

I have a better idea.. why don't we join in with Mexico and convert our currency to pesos. We all will become millionaires overnight.

 

[MikeO]

I'd much rather see $ replacing Mark (Finland) than Euro...

 

[Nemesis77]

<< I'd much rather see $ replacing Mark (Finland) than Euro... >>



Why? No really, why? Why Dollar and not Euro?

I'm personally kinda excited when it comes to the change in currency . But of course, deep down, I will miss the good ol' fim.

Lesser of two evils I just generally hate the whole EU/Euro idea and $ is already somewhat familiar currency, it's kind of a "internet's standard currency", plus in movies it's always $... there would just be more benefits.

 

[Option1]

You can't have a global currency in the good ole USofA!! And that's final! They aint havin' none of that communist propaganda monies over here thank you very much. If the greenback was good enough for George Bush's father then it's damn well good enough for the US now. It was bad enough when you red-loving commie bastards tried to destroy this glorious nation by introducing your socialist-inspired metric system on god's greatest creation. Thank the Lord, we nipped in the bud that stalinist attempt at destroying this mighty nation's way of life.

Hmmm, I seemed to have forgotten to put the above in quote marks. Then again I couldn't find who actually said it. In fact, maybe no one has yet, but rest assured, they will, they will.

Ok, let's face the thruth: all you americans are just scared of the Euro.
Because you now that the american supremacy is quickly coming to an end.

Since Bush became president, the US have already lost a lot of their influence to the EU. And you don't hear me complaining about that... I hope this trend continues.

 

[veryape]

I've been printing my own American money for years, hasn't everyone? I'm kidding all you fbi agents reading this thread, just kidding.

you're on crack. i live in america. NOBODY i know is afraid of the euro. i'd get laughed at if i even implied that.

and while all great powers must fall eventually, i would hardly call the demise of america "quick". it probably won't even happen in your lifetime. but go ahead and think that if it makes you happy.

BWAA HA HA HA HA. Drinking too much of the European alcoholic beverages, have you?

To begin with, how many nations on earth can take a hit like we did on September 11th? Then, organize a coalition and put together a strategic strike force and send it 9,000 miles (14,400 kilometers) to meet the adversary. Once the force arrives, they blast the hell out of the scumbags, who perpetrated such September 11th dastardly deeds, with a deadly precision unseen by anyone in human history. ALL OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY COMBINED COULD NOT ACCOMPLISH SUCH A FEAT WITHIN 90 DAYS. Ha Ha, dream on. We sent more aircraft over there than the combined airforces of Denmark, Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands. And you know something? We got about three times that number waiting around over here.

It's called clout. And much to the dismay of posters like Czar, Elledan, Aelus, et al, the USA nevertheless has multitudes thereof. One can bitch, whine, snivel, yell and scream all day long. However, one cannot deny the overwhelming dynamics of the United States of America.

We may have lost influence with the bleeding heart jackasses on the European continent. But we damn sure lost very little with the governments of the countries they live in.

Here is an interesting opinion on the subject from Josef Joffe of Die Zeit. It's in English, but I'm sure if you searched Die Zeit website, you could find the original in German. FROM GERMANY Flex Your Muscles, Softly

And furthermore: Have you ever read the minutes from recent EU meetings? Have you seen how much all the heads of state over there agree (a term I use with humor) on various issues such as placement of agencies? They make our US Congress look like agreeable, elderly Puritans!

Hahahaha. Yeah, the United States of Europe. They finally opened up their damn borders to each other on the continent in the 1990s.

Don't get me wrong. I love Europe and lived there for ten years. But until they put their cultural and ethnic differences totally aside, they aren't going to be the true European Union like they envision.

 

[Wallydraigle]

If we switched all the other countries in the world that use our money instead of their own wouldn't.

Uhh, am I wrong here, or is it the Pound Sterling which is the most stable currency?
