As monetary policy is a great part of sovereignity, states tend not to let a supranational organization make those deciscions for them. There is of course the concept of a universal currency (see Keynes' Bancor) while maintaining the national currencies. As this role is - for historical reasons (see Bretton Woods) - currently occupied by the US$ and there is no rival challenging the concept itself, a global currency is far away.
