Yes, we have been using this currency for ten years already! DOLLAR DOWN!
EURO was the proof that the dollar is not the most powerful currency in the world!
Yes, it was a very good idea to introduce EURO currency. 10 years ago many didn't support this idea. We all learned the lesson not to fear the change.

Does the fact that the GBP more valuable than EURO, mean it's stronger and stabler than it?
On the occasion of the anniversary eu citizens were allowed to choose a commemorative coin. Here it is:
it's nice, but I can't understand what is drawn on it? A man holding a euro, or what?

It is easier to torn down whole europe economy if it has one currency.
but you are not right. EURO is now the strongest currency on earth. The fact that European countries have one currency only make them stronger.
I hope it would stay that way, but we all could see that a economy crisis is at dawn. Would € survive it? I doubt it, but hope I am wrong.
today the whole world suffers a crisis. Maybe and exception is China, which unlike other countries is developing very fast. The crisis will pass.
I can't see how the crisis could be sovlved. Everything is going upside-down! The world economy is very unstable.

I wouldn't say the world crisis is at its dawn. It began long time ago, I think in 2004-2006 during the peak of the Iraqi war.
Well, in my own, personal opinion, i think we should thank the bright minds of this century for their ambitious idea about a united Europe, as the EURO currency maybe saved the whole world from a huge down of the economy as the dollar plunged. The existence of a largely used currency, for relatively short time but sufficient to attract markets and funds, saved many countries from a lot of headache already.
Do you believe Asia (particularly the Asian tigers) will create in future its own currency? something like "ASIO", sounds nice. I think it will, because Asian countries are now developing very fast and need changes. Introducing a new currency would be an important step.
It is so similar to Orwel's 1984. Euroasia, Eastasia and Oceania... :?
:quoi George Orwel was an English journalist, what does he have to do with this topic?
I just want to say that world is becaming similar to world in his book. Main similarity is to regions of world that are forming unions. Other similarities are deeper and not so much obvious... maybe I am wrong, and there are only accidental similar things. Of course Orwel has missed for one century but see you at 2084.
There proverb, "United we're stronger" can be used in this situation...
Congratz for the 10 anniversary years, EURO. I hope you will keep the momentum and become the strongest currency if you can...
And Africa is probably gonna make its currency - Africo
First of all it should build an economy of its own.
Africa - its own economy? I solidly doubt. Have you heard how many separatists and terrorist groups each country has? A lot of them. Nigeria is a special case.
To be honest, Africa is like another planet for me. They have wars, they have anniversaries, but all of them happen there, inside it, and it does not affect the world in any kind.

yes Nicholas, that's because Africa is poor in resources, and even its geographical position is no interest to any power country.
