Why doesn't somebody explain to me why the US$ is relatively strong with respect to all currencies and absolutely strong with many currencies when our country's current account deficit is at record levels? What is creating the demand?

Can no more prove it than you can re the Euro - where the problems are more to do with diverse political needs than the reserve make up, on the other haand if they didn't have 15% gold.......? As for the Maple Leaf Coin launch - guess you were in diapers then - but the effort was said to be promoting the Canadian gold industry (in fact I believe that intial sales were equivalent to the entire annual output and demand was brisk) - not, as you would have it, to get rid of reserve assets. d
