Everyone wants new clean 100 bills. Right now its the safest currency and will continue to be for a while. Look at the world currencies falling some 20- 25% against the USD over 30 days time and still there a month later. Anyone living internationally will be hoarding USD and it will continue to drive the value up and the rate will rise. By In the next 6 months the Euro could be trading at .80 instead of the lowest on Oct 27th 1,24 was 1.60 in July. Canadian, Australian, New Zealand dollars will be half value in the next few weeks, from what it was before the crisis. They are close to that now, .53 NZD. Aud.60 Can dollar was near equal, now .80etc. The British pound hasnt been 1.47 that I can ever remember. de ja vu.
