invest it all in EUROS if your keeping it in cash. The world currency will be EUROS eventually by the look of things. YEN will be increasing in value but its not as easy to trade.
US dollar is losing value fast. They no longer print the M3 which reflects how much money is in circulation and how much money the US is printing. They are printing so much they decided to stop publishing that report or the currency would plumet. China and other countries which hold lots of US dollars all see this happening and have threatened to sell thier US dollars en masse and the US basically said they better not or they may encounter an oil problem. No oil=no economy in this world... in the end money is nothing but paper, but oil keeps everything running. Regardless, some people are saying the true inflation based on how much money is being printed could be 9 to 20%. This will drive the US dollar down and eventually countries are going to start carrying EUROS more and more instead of US dollars.
If your investing the money in assets I recommend a mixture of stocks in very strong reputable companies that you know very well. Do your homework!

If you're defensive, just stick it in the bank. The interest rates are normally better than inflation, so you won't lose out - but you're not going to make loads of money.

I like the ETFs (exchange traded funds) because they give some specialized diversification without the high costs and such that come with mutual funds. Most also have a link for a listing of the constituent holdings, so you can research which ones you might be interested in. I think just investing in the companies that make profits in such an index would put you miles ahead of the game--since you wouldn't be automatically buying into losers, yet with business cycles, last year's gainers might be next year's dogs. Pick out a few that float your boat and divide your money between them.
Another but related possibility is consult some global list and pick out some range of companies that interest you.
Take a look at those on the second link, they have most changed ranking (and value) relative to where they were before. I would imagine that dividing your money evenly between the top several of those would give you growth with little embarrassment potential.
