The Canadian dollar is now worth more than the U.S. dollar

I think I'm a couple months late on this one but the Canadian dollar is now worth more than the U.S. dollar. If my knowledge serves me right, no country's currency used to be more valuable than the U.S a few decades ago. Now many countries are starting to surpass the value of U.S. currency. I guess in at least one way that's good news for me. I just bought an emergency supply of silver Canadian Maple Leafs with a $5 face value on each.

Your knowledge doesn't serve you right. Many other currencies have been worth more than the USD for decades. The CAD was worth more than the USD in the early 70s and periodically in the late 50s and through the 60s. AFAIK the British Pound has always > USD.
