The dollar is worthless anyway. That is why China is dumping the greenback and purchasing gold as a hedge.
China needs trade and dollars to gain technology, Russia does not need technology and has more natural resources than any other nation on earth.

The day of fiat currencies will be over and ultimately the world will bind currencies to metals !!!

The only thing that keeps the dollar afloat is the fact that world natural gas and oil is denominated in dollars.

That will change pretty soon too!

It will soon be a basket-full of currencies instead.
