<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 5266, member: 39&quot;]Somehow I believe that Texas is not planning to join the European Union any time soon; so why adopt the euro there? ;-)</p><p><br /></p><p>And a currency that is used by about 300 million people in (mostly) one continent does not really have anything to do with a world currency. Now I would not complain if some kind of mechanism could be found that prevents <i>major</i> exchange rate discrepancies; I am in the US about once or twice a year, and in the five years since the euro was launched, I have seen rates between (roughly) 0.80 and 1.20 USD per EUR. May be a bit worrysome for exporters and importers, but not exactly what would call extremely volatile, and not anything that calls for &quot;corrective&quot; measures ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
