If there's one thing we can rely on it's the United States Dollar. The world's reserve currency. Our store of value and medium of exchange. The standard by which all other financial assets are measured.

But what if I told you that today's dollar, is not the same as the dollar of just a couple of years ago. Oh, I'm not talking about some vast conspiracy, where some nefarious people backed up a truck and unloaded all the dollars from our nation's vaults.
