    I guess what I’m meaning is that American citizens are basically forced into using the US dollar. If you go to the grocery store in Atlanta, Georgia, you cannot use euros to buy your groceries. And so you just have to put up with whatever the grocery store says it’s worth. The forex markets such as the euro dollar market or the yin dollar market or the yuan dollar market set the actual value of the dollar, but the Fed does have control with inflation.
