> The euro is just another second tier currency backed by the european central bank which is extremely fragile.

Which currencies are as strong or are in a better position, and are backed by stronger economies than the euro?



I think the whole point is that would be the dollar


"Which currencies are as strong or are in a better position, and are backed by stronger economies than the euro?"

Easy, initial answers are the Swiss Franc and the Norwegian Krone.

Expanding the thought experiment a bit, it's possible that CAD is, big picture and long term, in even a better position. Probably AUD as well.

The GDP of .ch and .no put together are 6% of the EU's.

I'm sorry, but they just aren't significant in the large picture.


My parent didn't ask that. My parent asked:

"... are as strong or are in a better position, and are backed by stronger economies ..."

... and I would argue that .ch and .no are in quite a bit better position and are backed by stronger economies.
