Wads of dollar bills are usually as much a part of rap videos as fast cars, diamond-encrusted jewellery and scantily-clad models. </font></p>
<font size="2">But in an apparent nod to the low value of the dollar, rapper Jay-Z's new video Blue Magic features another currency. </font></p>
<font size="2">He is seen cruising the streets of New York in Bentleys and Rolls Royces (now owned by Germany's Volkswagen and BMW) with a briefcase of 500 euro notes. </font></p>
<font size="2">It follows reports that the supermodel Gisele Bündchen also favours euros. </font></p>
<font size="2">The catwalk star's twin sister and manager Patricia told Bloomberg in September that: "Contracts starting now are more attractive in euros because we don't know what will happen to the dollar." </font></p>
<font size="2">The US currency has been ticking off historic lows over the past few months as falling US interest rates make other currencies more attractive. </font></p>
<font size="2">It recently passed $2.10 to the pound, reached parity with the Canadian dollar and set an all-time record of $1.4752 to the euro. </font></p>
<font size="2">Other more conventional market-watchers have also been snubbing the dollar, including the billionaire investor Warren Buffett. </font></p>
<font size="2">There have been no suggestions that Jay-Z's fellow rapper 50 Cent could be considering a move into a different currency. </font></p>
