The course of the Dollar

I was wondering.

When the item mall first came out, I remember 500 silk was for me close to 50 euro's.

Ie 50 Dollar's = 50 +- Euro's.

Now it has come to this.

Code:

 U.S. Dollar     From Euro     Completed    Details         $50,00 USD     $0,00 USD     $50,00 USD 

Currency Conversion (debit)     From Euro     To U.S. Dollar     Completed    Details         -€35,00 EUR     €0,00 EUR     -€35,00 EUR

The 50$ = 35Euro ...... It's quite a change. Now the thing is, wouldn't it be hilarious IMO if JoyMax boycotted the Dollar and put all prices up in euro's ? I mean .. it would be smart, seeing as most other company's are ditching the near enough worthless Dollar. Cause the way I see it ... it's getting cheaper for us European's / Asians .. possibly Africans ... and stays the same for Americans + they have to deal with a failing currency.

So wouldn't it be more efficient if the prices for silk would be converted into euro's ?

This is of course speaking from JoyMax's p.o.v. .... From a silkbuyer's point of view I'd be begging them to keep the silk prices in Dollar's fyi : >

Bleh...

Well... If you've been in a 6 year war and still have as strong of a currency as the US Dollar, can't say it's that bad, is it?

Dollar is nowhere near "nearly worthless", it beats every other currency besides euro. (And Canadian dollar? I haven't checked in a while) Although in a couple years, well it really depends on U.S. next president.

perhaps it has something to do with America's dumbass approach to world relations. lets spend billions on a war, commit tons of resources, and close off as many borders and trade partners as possible....few years later...why is the US dollar doing so bad? i think history answers the question.

oh ya, CANADA FTFW

I have this thread bookmarked, in a near future JoyMax will switch to euros, and then I'll flame you, BIG TIME!
