Not too long ago the euro was at and/or above 2:1 with the american dollar. To see the dollar actually INCREASING in value [or at least the euro decreasing] is surprising. Never hit 2:1.  The peak was around 1.6:1 dollar:euro.  You can call that a petty difference, but that's a 20% difference. in case u dont know, since the euro came to being on 1/1/2000, 1 euro is very close to how much the $1 is. In case you don't know, the euro was initially priced at around 1.1:1 dollars:euros.  2000's was a great time for the dollar, so we only got used to the idea of 1:1 but it was never intended to be so.  We're finally coming back to initial-pricing parity. Rodiggidy Posted at 12:15 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 everyone's in economic crisis. jamesish Posted at 9:30 am on Oct. 28, 2008 Is is 2.248 good or bad? easy Posted at 9:28 am on Oct. 28, 2008 People exaggerate everything as being worse than it is xoAllixs0n Posted at 9:11 am on Oct. 28, 2008 Quote: from Event Horizon at 12:08 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 Quote: from xoallixs0n at 12:04 pm on Oct. 28, 2008 It used to be double our dollar. How sad is that?  Well, an economic depression will do that to you. ?? I think you have it backwards... It's BAD when the euro is double the dollar, that means if you were to go to europe with $100, you'd be left with 50 euro. =bad. Economic crisis should decrease the value of the dollar, so that the euro was even MORE than our dollar, not let our dollar catch up, which is a good thing.

They keep melting. Of course, the money is being hoarded by all our banks so they can last a few more days. There's probably going to be another rate cut today. We'll see the inflation in a year or so.
