If you haven't noticed, the British pound trumps our dollar. One dollar is equivalent to .50 pounds. I went to London last year and buying fish & chips was seriously ridiculous for me since it's 12 dollars or 6 pounds. made me QQ.
I think for a day, the Canadian dollar surpassed the American Dollar, for the first time in the history of the currency exchange. damn canadians and their maple syrup. BUT as of today, the American Dollar is now equivalent to .512 pounds. YAY we gained 1 cent in worth. Do you guys think our dollar will keep depreciating or will it start to appreciate with our current economic issues? |

the only reason you think that way because you are obviously only comparing British and American money, no one else. you have to look at a wider overview with the rest of the world.
Our dollar is considerately strong in terms of worldwide when it's strong in Asians countries. if we were undergo economic crisis due to low value, we'll be facing the same situation as the Europe when Spain no longer used pesos. Honestly, i don't know much about economic reformation in Europe ... yet. |
