I don't believe US would collapse on parts, simply because people there are similar. But the US Dollar thing is a fact, like it or not.
I'm working in the bank, and we talk with traders about this all the time. It's not a question of IF. It's a question of WHEN. 10 years is my very rough guess, or thereabouts. So far, the FED has been doing well to use interest rates to fight inflation, but I wonder how much can they go on doing this. They stopped publishing the M3 lately (a type of money supply) which decreases transparency in currency and that's worrying as to why they did it (real reasons). But that's off topic a bit.
