    I doubt all of these countries are going to be willing to give up their own sovereign currency to make this joint currency useful enough.

      They can have something like the ECU (the predecessor of the Euro), which was a non-circulating currency. There would still be significant challenges to achieving it but at least it doesn’t sound outright impossible.

      They aren’t, it’s just a reserve currency, just like the EU has the euro but uses the dollar as their primary reserve currency, or maybe a country with monetary sovrainty like japan etc is a better example, this brics currency is just a reserve one
