The [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro|Euro] has only existed as a currency since 1999. An "all-time high" for it really isn't saying much.

The slide of the dollar versus the UK Pound (GBP) is a much better indication of the decline in our currency and how it fit with history. The GBP is not anywhere near as strong as it once was, and the dollar isn't as weak as it's been in the past. This is a graph of USD per GBP from [link|http://www.miketodd.net/encyc/dollhist-graph.htm|here]:

The dollar is having troubles - a reflection of troubles in the US economy and the relative strength of foreign economies. But it's not hitting "record lows across the board".

Cheers,
