Would that really make more difference than the existing threat of the US being basically mortgaged to the hilt (through dollar holdings) to various East Asian countries and the like?
It would in that fewer people would see a need to hold dollar reserves for the purpose of petro transactions. However, I don't see the Euro as being well-enough established for that to happen, so I think they're on crack.

Really, if a viable contender existed, I suspect there'd already have been a change. But there really isn't. It takes a lot to make a trading changeover like that. It took World War II for the dollar to take over from the Pound Sterling.
