I believe that there are definitely people want this one world currency. The article if from 1988 though and I think it's a bit off in its prediction. If there will be a world currency, I think it's something that has to happen gradually. I can't imagine all countries agreeing to use a new currency at once. As far as I know the most used currencies would be the USD and the EUR. There are 12 countries and territories that use the USD officially. There are 24 that use the EUR. I think these numbers would have to spread gradually. If there were going to be a world currency in 2018, I think we would have heard of it by August. Haha.
