probably due to the fact that there isn't a universal government for the planet. |

It would limit those who collect coins. |

unequal economies. If the economy of a nation fails then it would have a knock on effect to other countries. Most people in the more prosperous nations would dislike that. |

A globally universal currency would have to be based on a TRULY global economy...and as much the media talks about a "global economy", it is a layman's term referring to the globalization of markets and communication, and not a true GLOBAL ECONOMY.
And that probably will never happen...because it would most likely have to go hand-in-hand with a global equalization of wealth and resources, which we know would not be allowed by the major economic leader-nations and the powers behind them. |

because not every counrty is finacially responsiable. there economy are really bad and the word cant depend on them to make enough money to pay the dept and support them. why should our money be wortht the same as ethopia (or other countries) and they get to pay less for the same stuff. its not fair or practical. thats why other countries money is not worth the same in other countries ex. One us dollar is equal to like 11 pesos in mexico. |

No matter what the universal currency is, it is "someone else's currency" to somebody. Everyone is too proud/too lazy to take the effort to switch to "someone else's currency". |

Way too much information to summarize but read this article and it will give you more information about this than you probably wanted to know. It's a rather complex subject which is impossible to give a short answer to. |

Because people as societies do not value the same things the same way. |

Because their are different economical values for each region. For example, let's say the Euro was the universal currency. Go to this site, and see what the conversion rate would be. http://www.xe.net/
Do you think it's fair that 3rd world countries would then have to suffer more than they already do?
This question is the equivalent to: Why can't the world have a universal language? It's just a tough thing to do. |

very simple, for most parts of the world American dollars still is widely wanted; however, some countries feel they NEED to have their OWN, for economic reasons it all stared way before half of their us was born, back in the good old days, they use to trade their items for other items, and to this day ther currency's r different because of their economy, for their currency expresses the culture of that country, famous people that should not be forgotten, granted its easier said then done, but the WORLD would fight over WHO should be on the bills, EXAMPLE....O lets have Jesus on the 1 and Ali on the 5, and Kastor on the 10, SEE that dose not sound like a good currency way, it will upset the people case half of the people r religious fanatics NO OFFENCE NONE TAKEN. that is my opinion u can agree or disagree all u want.+) |

becaus e everyone likes their currency americans wouldn't want to change from the dollar and i wouldn't want the pound to go. |

There is nothing that prevents it, other than custom. More likely a future world society will operate without currency, using computer transfer of monetary credit. |
