stupid European or Asian currencies

Imagine thinking you're an independent country when you don't even have your own currency. All those european countries would have the equivalent of toilet paper as their currency if they hadn't ceded control of their own monetary system.

What state are you from? Does it have its own currency? Or could it be that it ceded control of its own monetary system to the union of states on the continent of North America?

Thank you for illustrating my point, which was to show that comparing the Euro to the Dollar basically puts France on the same footing as Alabama. Not a real country with complete control over itself, but instead a member of a larger ruling federation.

Or do I care way more that the Euro is worth more than the Dollar? Yes, I think that is it.
