What would be the use of a single currency if we had less to buy?

One difference is in the nature of the foreign currency involved.

The question of the currency had been a major political issue since the mid-1870s.

In such a standard, the value of currency is set by the federal government.

It is perhaps even more important than the matter of a national currency.

"Do you think we have a lot of hard currency?"

In this post I wanted to talk about how to get hold of local currency.

That bill is a piece of currency in this game.

There will be a 'before and after' in terms of the single currency.

Which is true: we're short of foreign currency, as you know.
