Amero

[Sean]

I just heard that US is considering switching to Amero to handle the crisis.
How true is this? Any official news?

Thanks.

I thought this is just a theory.

I saw on news about this.
Something like if the crisis gets worse and the dollars falls heavily US will switch to Amero and all the countries holding US dollars will hold just paper...

hm.. It is hard to believe...

Here is what wikipedia says about amero:
The North American Currency Union is a theorized economic and monetary union of the three principal countries of North America, namely Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

Implementation would probably involve the three countries giving up their current currency units (U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, and Mexican peso) and adopting a new one, created specifically for this purpose. The hypothetical currency for the union is most often referred to as the amero.[2][1] The concept is modeled on the common European Union currency (the euro), and it is argued to be a natural extension of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP).

Conspiracy theorists contend that the governments of the United States, Canada, and Mexico are already taking steps to implement such a currency, as part of a "North American Union (NAU)".[1] No current members of any country's government have officially stated a desire to create such a body, nor introduce a common currency.

I won't be surprised very much if Amero will be launched as a new North American currency. Just remember Euro, it was introduced quite fast. Of course, at the beginning its power in the world wasn't so big, but it grew in 1-2 years. The same thing may happen to Amero.
