>>>For example, in early 2007, foreign central banks alone held some two and a quarter trillion in U.S. dollars reserves, which represented about 66 percent of their total official foreign exchange reserves, with a bit more than 25 percent being held in euros.<<<

So every time the dollar index drops 1%, those banks lose $22,500,000. Meanwhile, any gold reserves they may have left are up 25% over the past 12 months.
