Portfolio task 6


Portfolio task 6


When we travel to other countries, we know that we can’t use or deal with our country’s currency so we need to change the currency to that which is used in the country we are going to. Exchange offices won’t give us the equivalent amount of their currency, they won’t change the currency only, they will sell their currency to us by profit, so if we are going to travel to more than one country, we will lose some of our money just in changing the currency, so some people see that if we have a single global currency that could save their money. In this essay I’m going to write about the advantages and disadvantages of a single global currency.

Firstly, we have several advantages of a single global currency. One of these advantages is that the single currency will save the time and efforts and money for businessmen and travelers instead of lose the money in exchange offices. For example, if I’m going to travel to America I need to change the dirham to the dollar ($1 equal to 3.67 DHS and the exchange offices sell the dollar at 3.9 DHS) so imagine the difference of changing that directly and changing that with profits. Another advantage is it could help us from cheating in some unknown countries. For example, if we are in some of these countries and we do not have information about their currency we could be cheated.

Turning to the disadvantages, the big losers are the exchange offices where their jobs depend on the difference between the global currencies. Having a single global currency definitely means no exchange offices; they will disappear.

All in all, a single global currency will be useful mostly for ordinary people when they travel and businessmen who travel many times.
