2. When they introduced the Euro, it was valued at around $1.20 , IIRC

If I recall correctly. So it has netted an increase of about a third. There was a period when the dollar was worth more than one Euro. Then Bush* became "president"*

3. I bought dollars last Friday for my trip to the U.S.

€500 got me $760.

I know it hurts the U.S. but for me it is a good thing.

4. Good timing

Yeah, my Dad took a bath this week on his USDs. :( He saved the rest to take back home.
