Only the captial markets are so huge (trillions of fluid monies) that hedge funds can swamp any currency that is fixed at the wrong rate - happened to the pound (sterling) when just one large hedge fund called it with a $100 billion option - causing the exchequer of the exchange to de-value the pound by 10% in one day!
