Fellow comrades,

today at our RMB, some of you have started a conversation about creating/using a common currency within our DSA. Since this is a topic which needs a longer discussion, even if later it turns to be a reality, I decided to open this debate, following two main paths:

Why we SHOULD make this move
or
Why we SHOULD NOT make this move

please, present your opinions, they may be useful later, if a proposal gets to be made.

  • if it's mandatory, it's bad. if not, it's ok (Suceavija)
  • [RP] Adopting a common currency demands adopting common economic policy to work (Javandria)

How serious is the idea meant to be? Is it a RP thing or are we going to make this a condition of residency in the DSA?

RP thing only: SHOULD

Game Play - optional: SHOULD

Game Play - mandatory: SHOULD NOT

What are we going to name it? I would be happy to make an attempt at designing a 10-unit note

I agree. RP yes, mandatory no, optional yes. And we should come up with a name for said currency. The DSA buck or something. I don't know.

I'm guessing, at least on an RP basis, this will in turn create a regional banking system, like the monetary system of the EU?

Puts roleplaying glasses on I agree that it would be benefical to the economy of DSA to have common currency. However, If we do establish this common currency, I think we also should establish a common economic policy. Otherwise it might end up like euro: Eurozone has common currency, but it doesn't have common economic policy, and as everyone knows, that didn't end up so well.

I may adopt the [currency name] alongside the guilder, if that's possible... I'm not sure, though.

I'd opt for the "work hour/hour" in any case.
