Dollar value charts?

[abelenkpe]

Hello DU:

I would like to find a chart on the value of the dollar over the past 10 years. I remember seeing it plummet to around 64 during the beginning of the financial crisis and today it is around 76, yes? Does this mean it is worth more today than a few years ago or ???? Any help appreciated.


edit to add:

O and can anyone point me to a chart. Google not helping so far....

1. Here you go...

click on "time scale & period" at the top of the chart and you can view 30 years.

So tired of explaining dollar dropped lower under last admin at onset of crisis. Hopefully a picture will help. Thanks!

4. And isn't that as against the Euro, which has also lost value?

3. Measuring the dollar

I found this article discussing the topic interesting:

The general trend would appear to be bad.

This one only goes to 2008, but if you want a different way to look at it, check out this table:
