A single currency promotes commerce between those using the currency.

In the past I have seen the US dollar vary with Canadian dollar from $1.30 Canadian to less than $1.10 and the English Pound has varied between $2.50 to $1.50 US. Other currencies also fluctuate over time.

And although modern communications helps us to better trade various currencies, contracts set using today's exchange rates can bankrupt a company if they need to buy raw materials that go up in price due to fluctuating exchange rates while the price received goes down due to same rates.

Using a common currency avoids all the pitfalls of exchange rates.

Why did the writers of the constitution create a strong central power?

First of all, the people who wrote the constitution were known as framers. Second, you speed create wrong... Anyway, the framers knew that they should create a strong central government because under the articles of confederation, Congress had no power to do anything. Basically, all congress could do was tell the states, "Don't do that or we'll get mad at you." Another reason is the state, or local, governments were becoming way to powerful. All the states each had their own currency that they couldn't use in other states. As a result, they began looking like 13 separate countries. The framers needed a strong national, or central government that could bring the states together.
