$1.00 US is worth $0.98 CDN?

Wait does this mean the CDN economy sucks or the American economy sucks right now?

This would mean the U.S. economy sucks more.

It's always been like this. I can only remember one time in recent years where the Canadian dollar was worth more.Dylan_11

U jelly?

Exchange is always pro-usa i find. Even when our money (im Canadian) is technically worth more it always costs me more to pull out some american at the bank. messed up :(

Dun dun DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNN.

It used to be about .62 CDN to a US 1. It also has been 1.12 CDN to 1 US. Right now its been moving around about two cents of even for about the past six months. It is due to the strong recession proof canadian economy and the weak US economy

It usually seems to float around equal...

Never matters though; prices never really change, making lots of things more expensive here in Canada.

It's just a periodic dip in the stock market... It doesn't mean much, and the U.S dollar will go up again soon. BTW I'm Canadian :)

Somewhat Related Note: Back in the 70's (I think it was that decade) the Canadian Dollar was worth signifigantly more than the American one :P

There was while where people were told to pay the US price, but I think that's only when it was over $1.00. Doesn't seem to matter if it's around even though :(

Many countries try to devalue their currencies to encourage exports and trade. Look at china. So it's hard to use the value of currency as a judge of a country's financial well being.

I'm not entirely certain that means anything. I think that the change of value over time of the currencies relative to each other be a far better rubric to even begin speculation.

$1 today is worth about $0.04

$1 back in 1913 was about $1.00

No, that's a generalization.:P

It means the US Dollar will go back up in value once the Federal Reserve stops its insanity.

While it's true that Australia avoided the brunt of what is now known as the global economic recession, before 2009, Australia's economy contracted by 1% of GDP pre 2009. The only economy who fared better pre 2009 was Poland (contraction of 0.40% of GDP), who also avoided recession and were the only EU member state to do so.

In terms of the topic, I'd still rather be a Kuwaiti national going to the U.S with their currency =]
