news.bbc.co.uk— The world's richest model has reportedly made her own reaction to the sliding value of the US dollar - by refusing to be paid in the currency

I am from India and work in the US. Over the past 3 years the US dollar has lost upto 20% of its value against the Indian rupee. And that is making a big hole in people's pocket who transfer money back to their home countries for one reason or the other. I think the US dollar is still alive because of the China and Middle Eastern countries who are holding vast reserves of their money in dollar. They have kept the dollar afloat by creating an artificial demand. The day they decide to go the other way, dollar would be nothing but a "worthless piece of paper" as Ahmadinejad pointed out recently.
