US vs. European currencies. February, 1985 to May, 1986. Dropped 30% in 15 months. Beat that. The dollar lost almost 50% from 1985 to 1987 relative to european currencies.
hm, didn't know about the '85/86 drop-down, thanks for the info however i still think that the recent fall is very important (and tragical) point in the usd's history line ;-) as back in 1980s there was no country/currency to compete with it but nowadays there is

perhaps we better stop whining and double our efforts (and income as well)
