It was launched in October 2004 and published two documents: Trinational Call for a North American Economic and Security Community by 2010 (March 2005) and its final report Building a North American Community[1] (May 2005).
The final report proposed increased international cooperation between the nations of Canada, the United States, and Mexico, similar in some respects to that of the European Union.
Some Internet sources claim that this report, despite its own language rejecting a political union, would create a North American Union, which would link the three North American countries into a political union in the model of the European Union.[citation needed] Some envision this new North American Union as having its own currency known as the amero, which would replace the Mexican peso, U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar.[citation needed] Currency union in the Americas is a proposal supported by some economists, but it is an idea that is not likely to be enacted in the near future. ...

Common currency Robert Pastor, a vice chairman of the CFR task force that produced the report Building a North American Union, has suggested that a common currency might be called the "amero", which would be similar in concept to the euro, the common currency of the EU.[3] Another possible name could be the North American Dollar (NAD).
