Despite that, USD seems to hold its value pretty well. Certainly a lot better than many other "stores of value." | ||

> USD seems to hold its value pretty well. The Consumer Price Index has inflated by a factor of more than 15 from January 1947 through March 2026 [1]. That's an annual rate of inflation of about 3.45 percent. That's an indication of how the USD does not hold its value--if you have a stock of dollars that you want to hold the same buying power year to year, you have to add 3.45 percent to it every year just to stay even. | ||
