    I think one Chinese Yuan costs about $.144 rather than $1.44.

    It seems strange that you chose to post the currency/$ charts, since they are trending up. Instead of the dollar drowning, your $/Euro chart looks like we are just getting our head above water!

    Your charts (and the title) would be more effective if you used the reciprocals ($/currency).

    Nice idea, but would be nice to have the full y axis; a truncated y axis is chart junk.
