Happy Belated Birthday, US Dollar!

Forty years ago on August 15th, President Nixon took the US Dollar off its link to gold bullion, officially setting the greenback out on a wild fiat ride.

So best birthday wishes for the fiat US Dollar, as it crosses the 40 year mark.  (the big announcement comes at 53 seconds)
