Almost every foreign currency has at least an informal peg to the dollar. The European and Chinese Central Banks are working hard to make sure that the dollar does not fall too much. The only truly foreign currency is gold. But the potential for a dollar crash is already factored into the price, so buying gold too is very risky. The safest place to put money would seem to be a combination of FDIC insured CD's, dividend paying stocks ( as opposed to non-dividend, purely speculative stocks), and gold.
