Currency Exchange(I'm American)

These exchange-traded funds exist to purchase if you have a brokerage account. There may be others out there for different currencies. There also funds that are designed to move twice as much as the underlying currency or to move in the opposite direction.

I made perhaps $25 profit on accumulating Japanese yen coins then selling them on ebay. Lost a few bucks trying the same with old Deutschmark coins (bidding stopped at 80% of exchange rate). Was going to do the same with my British pocket change, then Brexit happened.

The dollar seems to be doing well against the major reserve currencies, and a lot of the minor currencies seem to be poor investment choices. I would probably stick to stocks in today's market.

All right, thanks for the info you guys. What about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, I saw an article earlier this week about how a lot of people were selling their gold in exchange for Bitcoin. I imagine if the whole world decided switching to a cryptocurrency, companies would still want to buy precious metals in order to create products. What do you guys think, will the value ultimately go up or down if precious metals were specifically tied to only production instead of also monetary value.
