History of Foreign Currency

[LazySusan]

I find research interesting, and am always looking for articles that may be relevant. I've been reading articles about the foreign exchange mechanisms and how currencies have been revalued in the past. I ran across this article.

There isn't anything relevant to the Dinar, and nothing recent. However, based on the past, what is interesting is the the U.S. government has always had a hand in the exchange rate of currencies, and they have no qualms about changing the mechanisms based on current economic situations.

I'd say more, but I have ants in the kitchen. Gotta run.
