I havent seen enough information on that topic. I imagine that a currency merger of that magnitude hasnt been seriously considered. The concept of the Euro was tossed around for the better part of a decade, and its final inception came because the German Deutschmark was, at the time the strongest currency on the planet and was deemed capable of supporting the common currency even after inclusions of the worthless Ruble and semi-worthless Lire.
I dont want to hear it from the people who will bombard me with claims of the American Dollar or the British Pound. There were several key factors that excluded these currencies. The British Pound for example has been valued at almost twice the American Dollar for a considerable amount of time now, it is not the currency benchmark, nor been considered the world's strongest currency, and hasnt been for some time.
And I dont believe the rumours of actual national and sovereign amalgamation between our three countries. To me that simply seems a preposterous notion founded on baseless rumour. An amalgamation of that magnitude would require legal and governmental proceedings that are entirely unprecedented. I'm certain we would have heard something from a public source.
