The government is printing money and lowering interest rates at the same time. Where should someone invest their money to protect themselves from the falling dollar? (Gold, Silver, Euros, International Currencies ect)?

The same answer applies now as in any volatile market: diversify. Each of the categories you mention has potential. I am always hesitant about currency speculation because rates can change VERY quickly and you can get caught. Some gold, some EU bonds, and some general international equities will give you limited exposure and good diversification. |

Good bond mutual fund--as interest rates drop, bond mutual funds rise. Stay short term, and wait for the turnaround. |

I don't think the dollar has much further to fall.
The rest of the world's banks are beginning to panic, and they can't afford having the dollar drop much more. |

euros. their value is steadily rising. and the dollar is steadily falling. im sure gold and silver value will also go down. |

definitely not too late to invest in metals. make sure to purchase the most pure you can afford. check shows and coin dealers...buy in many sizes (weights). |

Euros aren't a good investment because they are having some problems (although they aren't disclosed very often). other than that your list is good. the other places you can put your $ is:
oil
food
coal
natural gas |

Unfortunately, most of the things you mentioned probably have already done most of what they can do.
The reason is that the Fed cannot continue its current policies --- which have debased the dollar --- for much longer. They have already (in my opinion) abrogated their inflation control responsibilities to the average consumer by attempting to artificially prop up the stock market. When they are unable to drop rates further inflation will start on a tear, they will have to raise interest rates to control it and the dollar will recover (while the economy finally will suffer the recession they are desperately trying to stave off).
That recovery, if you invest in metals, Euros, etc. for example, right now when they are already high, will probably give you a handy loss. You are probably too late already so you will probably have to ride it out the rest of the way.
I am in Pounds Sterling, inflation-protected securities and short term CDs but I bought all of them a while ago when rates were better and the inflation rate was lower was lower. Much of the fun has gone out of them if you buy them now. |

All currency exchanges for eachother.
The only thing that doesn't are commodities like Gold, Silver, Platinum, Diamonds, Oil.
The best example I can give you is during the Civil War the South printed Confederate paper $. Today, other than to a collector, it is valueless. One can't walk into a grocery store & buy milk with it. Why? Because there is no gold, silver or other precious metal backing it.
Before the Fed's recent actions:
If you look at british sterling to US, roughly it averaged a 2.2 exchange. Meaning $2.20 US = 1 British Pound.
Why is this? Because the US printed out $2.20 for every ounce of gold backing money.
More or less, because dollar bills aren't made out of metal, they are only as valuable as the metal backing it in Fort Knox.
Presently, it is around $3 US = 1 British Pound.
Pretty soon the US dollar bill will be as valuable as toilet paper & not even worth the cloth it's printed on.
Invest in Gold, Silver, Oil, Diamonds, Gems, etc. Things that are tangible. |

They are not making money...that would encourage inflation. I hear Gold still has some life. |
