They cost more because you have to create a system to produce them and pay the retailers for them.
The banks already had a system in place for pensions and other benefits to be paid electronically.

Food stamps are evil. The are inefficient, encourages crime, and create a dependency culture.
It also leads to idiotic things like: NY May Ban Buying Sugary Drinks with Food Stamps

The amero, the idea of a currency union between the US, Canada and Mexico so beloved by right wing conspiracy theory nuts, which always ignores one basic fact, who would demand on being top dog in that partnership?
For that reason above any other the other two would never go for it as they would basically be handing control of their economy’s to the US
America would basically have to fall to a level of a 3rd world country before they would even consider entering a "partnership of equals" with those other countries (especially Mexico) and until they agreed to such the others would never agree to it
After the fiasco over the last year or two with the euro zone countries doubt will even see academics talking about a global currency in theory for a decade or so, never mind anyone in power even thinking about trying to create it

No, I've answered why I don't believe it. You believe what you like, it's a pointless argument. It simply won't happen.
