Imagine you are a merchant and every state has it's own money this means you would have to carry the money for each state you go to. The money would have different values as well. To be one nation every state has to use the same money for it to have value.

The Articles of Confederation did allow individual states to coin their own money. This was one of the primary problems with the Articles. The United States Constitution, however, did not allow states to coin their own money. The reason for this is that there was no efficient way of determining the value of one state's currency in relation to another state's. Printing money is different than coining money, however, as coining money means establishing a new unit of currency, while printing money simply means the actual production of those units. When states began printing their own money, this caused problems of inflation, as the value of money depreciated.
The states and smaller entities printed their own money to finance their local government since there was not a national currency at the time. The problem was that if you stayed in the area, your money more or less kept its value. However, if you moved to another state, your money was worth cents on the dollar, if anything. People were able to get rich trading currencies, though, taking advantage of the varying prices. They did have to travel and timing was everything. A good book on this was written by Simon Winchester,

Each state having their own money meant that people would have to carry 13 different types of money and each had a different value. This really hampered trade.
Confederate money was made in the Confederate States of America---not the US. The southern states seceded from the Union and formed their own country. Every country produces their own currency so people can buy and sale in the market.
Many countries around the world have their own central banks that are responsible for printing and issuing their own currency. Some examples include the United States (through the Federal Reserve), the United Kingdom (through the Bank of England), and Japan (through the Bank of Japan).
Making money is the right of the federal government. We have 50 states in the USA. If 50 states made their own money, it would be a mess.
No, its against the constitution.
