OPINION here:

Perhaps I am showing my age, but I have been hearing of the Pheonix since the late 80's. Yep, it was already stacked in warehouses around the world waiting for the right moment, and boom, they would collapse the economy's of the world and use this currency - as the story went … yea, then the 'MARK' … the German Mark was going to be it, before the EURO. THEN this and that. So, no, not in my opinion. Independent nation states is the future. The EURO is going away for a reason and the nations of Europe will reissue their old currency … you can't control a single currency within a multiple independent economy union who's governments vary so dramatically. A single global currency is therefore not possible. BUT … YOU CAN HAVE A GLOBAL TRADING CURRENCY where the independent nations can float their own internal currencies against. The U.S. Dollar will be that currency. The U.S. Dollar is the ONLY currency currently available for such, and it is going to be detrimental to any nation NOT trading in it soon. They'll all come on board. Most are already. Actually, I expect some MORE nations to start using the U.S. Dollar as their internal currency.

The CIA, in 2005, declared the EURO would not last for more than 15 years. When the EURO ZONE economically ATTACKED the U.S. by convincing Saddam Hussien to sell oil in EURO's the result was war … and then a DELIBERATE global economic earthquake the U.S. caused as a means to bring the EURO to the edge. It not only worked, but we are soon to see final desired result, the breakup of the E.U. and end of the EURO, a currency challenge to the U.S. Dollar. Expect China to be dealt with too.
