In any case, the kronur is indeed falling! (Which is a big deal, here.)
Thanks for the heads up.

I take it you're paid in Kronurs and not dollars?

I'm paid in dollars so when the local currency drops in comparison I benefit, IE my dollar buys more pesos. Lately it's been pretty steady at 10.75 to 10.80. I find if I use my ATM card to withdraw funds I get a better rate, sometimes as high as 11.00. Why? I have no idea.

Lately I've moved most of my investments into Euros, GBP and gold and silver etc... As the dollar drops I've got a little shield.
