Before Nixon took us "off the gold standard", the nation had gold reserves that were equal to, or more, than the amount of dollars in circulation.  So back then, money actually had a tangible value and was backed by the country's gold reserves.  Coming "off the gold standard" allowed the dollar to become more artificial and debt-ridden.

Dollar Diplomacy. Started by President Taft. But the U.S. doesn't/can't just keep printing more money. It doesn't work like that. I wouldn't call it "fooling other countries" though. It's more like investing in what the U.S. wants.

It's a little of both.\nThe cost of living has risen constantly over time. This is evidenced by the median prices of all goods. I'm pretty sure that I couldn't live on the $2.74/hr which my first job paid me!\nBut our dollar value has dropped, too.\nThere was a time when the U.S.Dollar was the highest standard in currency. However, with Europe uniting the Euro is now much stronger than the dollar. As other nations improve their standards of living, the price of importing their goods also goes up.\nAnd so, the circle continues.

The dollar has lost value because of inflation.  Prices of goods and services have risen faster than the rate of return that that dollar could earn.  For example, if the price of milk has gone up, on average 7% per year, but the return on your dollar has been 6% per year, than you can't buy as much milk today with that dollar.  Therefore your dollar has lost value.
