When I grew up in Detroit we loved driving across the Ambassador Bridge into Windsor, Canada to stretch our dollar.

Back in the day, American greenbacks could be exchanged for forty percent more -- $1.00 was worth a $1.40.

Imagine my surprise when I learned that the tables have now turned as the "loonie" has reached parity with the dollar. Canadians are crossing the bridge to Detroit to shop til' they drop.

The dollar's value is declining against just about every major currency -- Yen, Euro, and the Swiss Franc.

How low can the dollar go?
