After a holiday back home and Barbados, I was taken back when I arrived in Barbados and realized that the TT $$ did not have any value of note there. Now after travelling parts of Europe and doing some working working stints in the poorest of nations, Kosovo, I observed that the Euro was adapted as the currency of choice.
Why would a common currency not work in the Caribbean? I realize that there are different economies of scales and that the disparities among the nations are diverse with Haiti as one extreme. But are there not just as much extreme economic diversity among the European nations? and does the U.K still not retain its pound?
So why not a Caribbean $$?
