This came up in conversation between my mom and I talking about Euros and how cool that is to me (Canadian). I then wondered why we can’t just have that everywhere and all she could say was “it wouldn’t work, what about less profitable countries” and I said “they’d just make/have less?” She did not like that answer and I really wanna know the real reason on why that wouldn’t work bc in my mind since we made up money why can’t we just make up how new money works???
Please explain like a teacher explaining why a kid can’t share 3 m&ms with 28 people

Countries wouldn’t want to give up their control over their own monetary policy. How would policy even be decided between 200 different countries with different economies with different needs?
