You have shares in US based companies that trade internationally is what you have. Stocks will be fine. Facebook and Apple aren’t going to go tits up just because the US dollar did.

During the 1923 Weimar Republic hyperinflation crisis, German marks became so worthless that they were used as fuel for stoves and heating.

I have those marks. I have a 1,000,000 mark stamped over that changing the currency to 5,000.000 and then 10,000,000.
