Do you believe the whole world should have one currency?

Could this be possible? Could it work with the exports and imports between countries?
What currency should be the universal international money? Dollars, Euros, Yen,Pounds, others?
In Europe a lot of countries in the EU changed their money into Euros, the UK is still resisting that (because of economic reasons or just being proud). Also money that existed since the time of Jesus,like the Greek drachma, now ceized to exist because Greece was forced to change it into Euro.
Is it a good thing to change the money into one new currency? Does it affect cultures in any way?

The problem is that people will try to insist that their, and ONLY their, currency would be appropriate for a worldwide currency... mostly because it would be more convenient for them. I'm not an exception to this, although I wouldn't mind converting to Euros (apparently there are some vendors/merchants here in the States who accept Euros as well as US dollars).
Still, it might make things a bit easier.. but only once everyone got used to using a universal currency.

I love the idea. We lived in Europe and I loved the Euros. the different sizes and colors of the bills were easy to use verses American Currency and lets just get rid of the penny ok? We can all average up or down.

I don't think there should be one kind of currency because this would lead to many useless and stupid fights.
