Fuck that...
You seem to forget that the economically strong countries are only strong because they leech from the third world countries.
Universal currency would mean bankruptcy of the US, so this will never happen anyway.
If there were a global currency it would fail horribly.
Countries that export lower quality goods manufactured with low end materials would be put on the same even playing field as those that don't.
It's bullshit.
Not to mention, some countires export goods that are far more valuble...
Not every country has Oil, Fresh Water and Precious Stones, etc.

The only country I can think of is the US and their fake wars for said goods.

but ebay "selling" is good chance for sellers from such countries as like Iceland, South Korea etc. for example, last year 1 USD was about 800 Korean WON, but now 1 USD is over 1400 WON.

Interest and blatant theft are two very different things.
Also, ever heard of the Alberta Oil Sands?
I really don't think that Canada as a whole is too concerned in drilling that far away for oil when we are already a world supplier in what we already have.

It's strange how the trouble in the US economy makes the US dollar strong vs. the Canadian + other currencies. I understand why it is, with commodity prices falling (and Canada's economy being so much in resources) and with investors being worried and shifting investments into US money and things you need US money for, but it's still bizarre that Canada is doing relatively well compared to the US and, because of that, the value of the money is plummeting. It has affected noticeably what I can afford to buy.
