Encyclopedia > Currency Union

In economics, a monetary union is a situation where several countries have agreed to share a single currency among them, for example, the East Caribbean Dollar. A monetary union differs from an Economic and Monetary Union, where it is not just currency but also economic policy that is pooled or co-ordinated (as in the European Union Eurozone, for instance).

American currency union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (356 words)
Currency union in the Americas is an idea based on the common European Union currency, the euro.
As well as calls for a currency for the Americas as a whole, in Canada discussions of a more limited crossborder currency union are common.
Some pundits thus argue that currency union is all but inevitable, whether it is desired or not.
