To become the new reserve currency, you have to be more stable than other options when the switching cost is taken inot account. The USD looks good from Argentina, of course, and a number of other places. ;-) A cut in ECB rates would take pressure off the USD and remove some upward pressure on the Euro. Consider the switching costs - if your currency appreciates rapidly, it can kill both your export industries and imports will take a big slice of your domestic industry - and that will happen long before there is much benefit from being able to pay your debts by printing your own currency. So I don't see the Euro or Japanese Yen being 'voluntered' to be the new reserve currency.
