Mermaid, facing similar concerns, I closed a bank account and went back to US $'s. I would rather lose a little interest than lose on a devaluation. I wouldn't borrow, unless it's US for US, if I had dollars, I would hold them for a while and use only what I needed until I saw what was going to happen.
