Anyone heard of the North American Union? Is this for real?

Is it also true that we are going to have a new currency called the amero? Is there really a super-highway being built through Texas to link Mexico with Canada? Can this be why the Canadian dollar is almost par with the American now? Finally, will this mean that America has finally achieved it’s "manifest destiny"?

It is the same color as a penny, and about the size of a Canadian nickel. On the front, there is a girl with a tiara on. There is a border that says, "Canada Victoria Dei Gratia Regina." On the back, it says "One Cent 1876". There is a leaf border.

What does it really matter to you what coins (or anything else) we do up here anyway? Most of you don’t even know basic facts about your own country (just watch Jay Leno’s "Jay Walking" segments, they’re friggin’ hilarious!)
But I suppose I should forgive you… Continue reading
