Question

Question: The United States is composed of 50 states, each with its own state government, but only the U.S. Congress has the power to issue currency. Explain why it is important that state governments are not allowed to make and distribute their own money. Give specific examples and details to support your answer.
The only part I need help with is why they don't have the power to issue their own? We are doing economics and are on the history of money. I appreciate any help I can get! Please dont leave the answer just help me because I need to come up with my own solution.
Thanks :)

Answer 1

Since the U.S.A is one country, one currency would allow the states to regulate each-other, whilst allowing trade to flow freely and easily. <span />
