A Union of the US, Canada & Mexico has been planned & talked about for many years & a World currency is already in the works. There has been discussion of a regional local currency called the "Amero" which would be the official currency of the NAU, replacing the US & CAN Dollars & the MEX Peso. Basically North America becomes one entity like the European Union & just as Europe now only has 1 currency, the "Euro", the Union of North America would have 1 currency, the "Amero".

NAU as described from the interweb: "The North American Union (NAU) is a theoretical regional union of Canada, Mexico & The United States similar in structure to the European Union, including a common currency called the Amero. The idea has been discussed & proposed in academic & scholarly circles, either as a union or as a North American community as proposed by the Independent Task Force on North America. The amero is the appellation given to what would be the North American Union's counterpart to the Euro".
