I don't think that this is a credible article about the "amero". There's just nothing to this weird idea. We are far more likely to see the dollar adopted by more states in the Americas, such as Ecuador did, than any replacement of the dollar with a transnational currency. You are more likely to see currency union happen in Asia than in the Americas, and I rate any Asian currency union as highly unlikely.

The bit about the dollar taking a beating in the markets over the last week is largely true, but I think that the transition sentence "The speculation on the future of a new North American currency came amid a major U.S. dollar sell-off worldwide that began last week." is an incoherent connector between the fact about the dollar's slip and the dubious idea of a displacement of the dollar for the "amero".

Whoever thought,'In God We Trust' would be written so small on our new one dollar coin, you have to use a magnifying glass to even see it. Beginning of the end for that phrase? The first step in removing God from our money?

Yes, there is something to it, and it isn't just an 'idea'...
