Dollars Worth – Rise and Fall of the Dollar

The dollar has made it’s ups and downs in history, but today it’s currently at one of the lowest its ever been. Which surprisingly presents encouraging views for companies who export products overseas. With the dollar at such a low rate, many countries are more interested in buying products from the United States. Since American companies are able to sell more than before through exportation, many are finding that hiring back their employees is a plus in this economy.  As the recession progresses President Obama, has made a point that he is not going to focus on the strength of the dollar. Though a weak dollar is a sign of a weak United States, a slow declining of the American dollar isn’t necessarily bad. As long as a sudden decline isn’t the case, the US dollar will always go up and down. A weak dollar balances out the high forty percent incline of the dollar during 1995- 2002, and is healthy for the economy as seen with exportation.

Overseas Vacationing, a Black hole for U.S. Currency

However vacationing to other countries is a disadvantage for American citizens today; many who ventured out to Europe found the exchange rate shockingly different than before. The dollar doesn’t get you as far anymore. The dollar is declining fast next to the euro, which sky rockets prices for American tourists, and leaves us twiddling our thumbs . Not many people realize the significance of a weak dollar until they purchase food from a restaurant, or buy something at a souvenir shop and find it significantly higher than in the U.S.
