What is an "Amero"?

[WILL JB]

Hello, I am new to this forum and really enjoy the mediation since it fosters growth. This is the kind of Intellectual capital that makes me proud to be an american. However, in light of this horrible global economy, I , just like any red blooded american wanted to find out what the hell is going on, specifically with the [us dollar] and While browsing the internet, I came across a new word that prompted me to inquire this great pool of intellectual capital quality for an answer. So, here it goes, What is an Amero? I went on wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amero] which prompted me to get more informed. Supposedly, Conspiracy theorists contend that the governments of the United States, Canada, and Mexico are already taking steps to implement such a currency, as part of a "North American Union (NAU)" No current members of any country's government have officially stated a desire to create such a body, nor introduce a common currency, but does this sound fishy to anyone else but me as to why nobody's talking about this? Can anyone out there tell me,1) Is this for real? 2) What does this mean for the American dollar? My American Dollars and your american dollars? 3) What does this mean for our future economy? With all do respect, I am not claiming this as true, just looking for thoughtful and informed conversation, so please respond with the respect and finesse of a true educated capitalist such as you all are. And if you don't know what I am talking about, please do not respond and allow the constructive conversation.
