    No…that would be such a pain, especially if you lived in a smaller state. Imagine driving through another state, and running out of gas…you’d have to go through all the currency exchange crap before you could be merrily on your way!
    Peace

  5. No, it would hamper interstate commerce. The European Union just went through the process of unifying their currency in order for business to be able to run better

    No, thanks. I prefer the Constitution to the Articles of Confederation.

  7. Yes. There are states in which there is popular sentiment to be released from the control of the central government. The US is no longer united and there is irrevocable hatred among the people of this nation. Since politicians will not agree to term limits, then let the states opt out of this sick and tired nation by state constitutional amendment. Currency would go hand and glove with an opt out.

    Hell no! We pretty much had that situation back before the War Between the States, when banks could print their own money. After the Confederate money became worthless, the Union greenbacks weren’t much better. People wanted gold and silver. Trouble was, there wasn’t enough to go around, and banks could still print their own money. It was supposed to be backed by gold or silver, but many just printed money. The panics (old fashioned name for depressions) that inspired by such practices resulted in the establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1913. That didn’t stop the Great Depression, but it did keep our money from becoming worthless.

  9. no
