Yeah, the US is just going to up and drop the world's most prominent brand for something that no one's ever heard of. In many nations where not a lick of English is spoken, "American dollar" will still get you what you want.

I think the Germans and the French felt very much the same about the Mark and the Franc, respectively. What currency are they using these days?
The only thing constant is change. If the "leaders" decide we're going to be an American union, we're powerless to stop them.
There happens to be a great instrumental/experimental band called "The American Dollar"...
