okay, time for a currency for the world...

In Dallas Texas stores are going to accept Pesos and Dollars....instead, why don't we just make a world currency in the philosophy of the Euro (I'm kidding)?

I went to college in Buffalo NY, and up there many of the stores accept Canadian currency, and across the border in Canada most of the stores accepted American dollars. I would imagine this is rather common in most border areas. The only lousy thing was that they would give you a bad conversion rate (worse than the banks would). But if you were just going across the border for the evening (the drinking age there was 19), then you didn't always have a chance to go to the bank.

What's the big deal? They take the dollar everywhere..
It's beneficial to the business owner, cause like Eric said, they are making some change on the exchange rate.
So as long as it's not a nuisance.. I say go for it.

Just out of curiosity, when did Dallas become a border area?

As long as that world currency is the U.S. Dollar, no problemo.

Yea I mean, the official language of the United States is Spanish/English anyway. (La lengua de los Estados Unidos es espanol y ingles)

We might as well start accepting pesos. (Se aceptan pesos y dolores)
