EZLivin, I don't think you are correct... In cases that I am aware of, people wanted foreign currency - US Dollars and German Marks were the favorite, as well the British Pounds...
I'm not sure we disagree that much. Perhaps where we differ is that I do see certain foreign currencies being desired and utilized in the event we have hyperinflation here. "Necessity" would bring other currencies into play in my opinion. I'm betting on it actually, which is why I hold a fair bit of Canadian dollars. I'm not a $US fan (have not been for several years). Other than short counter-trend rallies I think the $US is going much lower.
