It's not printing more money that has caused the dollar to fall in value. It is the massive amount of debt we have accumulated. We are no longer what could be considered a good investment.. Printing more money does indeed cause inflation and certainly affects how far your dollar goes.

Since we aren't a good investment, investments and trades are made in other currencies, primarily Euros.
