If you want a reliable short-term currency investment that will increase in value over the next year or two, right now, buy Chinese Yuan Renminbi.
I'm working for a school here earning Y7000/month. In October, this was worth about $928. One week ago, it was worth $994. Today, it's worth $998.50.
That's about a seven percent rise against the US dollar, in SIX MONTHS, and it's been speeding up in the last few (in January, my paycheck was worth about $964, if I recall correctly.)
Uncle Mao has been buying up foreign bonds as fast as his paws can handle 'em to artificially keep the RMB *down*, in order to keep dollars, euros and pounds rolling into the factories while the factories are still cheap, but it's going up fast anyway!
