Are you sure of this information? US dollars are easily converted to other currency and vice versa. I cannot find any supporting evidence that backs this statement up.
Some specific names of companies would be helpful.
I'm a sole trader, that is not American, yet I deal exclusively in US dollars, and see no reason not to. The US dollar is fluid, but no more than most other countries. If the US Dollar takes a dump, the only effect it has on me is I pay more dollars when buying goods, and charge that higher amount when selling those goods..

The correction phase is underway for gold. It is now down to $933 as I type, and has a way to go yet. If you want gold, I would suggest waiting a bit - it's unlikely to go up again in the near future IMO
