"Yahoo! Goods manufactured in the US will become more marketable."
Not when the rest of the world has NO money either with which to buy even cheap American goods. Or any goods from anywhere. A dollar crash crashes the rest of the world with it.
Barter will become the sole viable channel of commerce of any kind.

A worldwide currency collapse is not what the article states is the cause for the dollar's fall. The dollar falling, according to the article (a point I am neither endorsing nor denying), has to do with a switch to another currency in preference on oil markets. So while the dollar is falling, another currency is strengthening, right?
