Dollar Devaluations Trim Travel Budget Abroad

The first two devaluations were official steps in 1971 and 1973, while the third was a creeping, market driven drop. Since February the dollar fell about 7 percent versus major currencies, totaling about 25 percent loss across all three moves. Experts cite worldwide inflation and Watergate as factors, noting gold buys have risen as confidence wanes.
