Heheh.. this is why I read the business pages of my paper now!
The dollar exchange rate is at a crisis point, especially with regards to the Yen. There's been quite a lot of intervention by central banks buying up dollars to try to raise the value and stabilise the exchange rate, but there are indications that they may not be prepared to carry on doing this and might choose to dump some of their dollar reserves.
In other words, your dollar check could suddenly become worth a lot less in the not-so-distant future. I'd hate to be reliant on US$ for my income at the moment!
