The second thing that stands out is how few currencies have outperformed the US dollar despite the US abandoning the gold standard in this period. It's really only Japan and the strongest eurozone economies, which made the one-off move of transitioning the euro.
But perhaps the biggest standout is the collapse of so many currencies on the list. This is far from a comprehensive list as it doesn't include basketcases like Zimbabwe but even among a list of decent (if not strong) economies, around half this list has been zeroed out.
If you're investment horizon is +50 years, then there is no alternative then to factor in hard assets or other safe stores of value into your decision making.
As a reminder, the US dollar has lost about 98% of its value against gold since August 1971, when it was trading at $35 per ounce and 50% since October 2022.
