single currency
A single currency is a common money used by multiple countries within a certain area, which simplifies trade and travel. For example, the Euro is used by many European countries, allowing for easier buying, selling, and financial transactions across borders without changing money. It promotes economic stability, reduces exchange rate risks, and encourages cooperation. However, it also means countries share monetary policies, so economic issues in one country can affect others using the same currency. Overall, a single currency aims to foster closer economic integration and ease of cross-border economic activities.
