Why should it? The troubles we see now are NOT caused by the Euro but by overspending. Or are you saying the US economic problems are caused by the US dollar?

Nothing special. Euro would be exchanged with national currencies. No money will be lost or anything. Just a giant currency conversion, but with some turbulence around it.

Having said that, the Euro is a great project. It will trigger a common European economic policy and that will push Europe to the next level.

Wow, talk about history illiteracy. The EU was founded 1958. The Schengen Agreement is one of the CORE achievements of it (as is the Euro).

You can get a work visa (similar to US green card) if you can find a job that pays more then 46000 Euro/Year. That is the typical IT starting salary for companies like SAP or Microsoft Germany - if you are good ;)
