You guys are missing two important points:

1. The United States commands a lot of power in the world, so at the end of the day, people will rally around its dollar, as is happening now. The psychological factor is MORE important than anything.

2. Almost every other country in the world that has money right now, has it in Dollars (China, Saudis, Russia, etc, etc). All these countries have been selling Resources to America in return for Paper Dollars, which currently have worth.

The simple fact is, if they start dumping dollars, it will cause a chain reaction that will collapse the dollar and all their wealth. America will still have what they bought, but those other countries will be out those resources plus the wealth they thought they had.



The bottom line is, the US is just the safest form of currency right now and everybody is cought in its grasp and can not offload that currency because doing so would screw them as much as the US.

As for the Euro, it will devalue even more in the future due to poor economics in those countries. Too much socialism and uncompetitiveness will hurt it more than it does America.
