Reserve Currency - the US dollar

I do read a lot about the dollars fall (and it is at its lowest point to the basket of other currencies as it has ever been), but it does fluctuate based on market forces. It has been low before, too. And high. I also do read that the US dollar will fall from its status as the world's reserve currency. I don't believe this is possible in the short-term (Former Fed Chairman stated that the Euro could conceivably become the world reserve currency by 2020). Even so, Great Britain's pound sterling used to be the world's reserve currency in the 18th and 19th centuries and now represents only 2% of the total. England seems to be doing fine. But look at this table below and you will see that the US dollar is still more than 2.5 times larger than the nearest competitor - the Euro. Quite a long way to go to be overtaken. And if it is in danger of no longer being the reserve currency for the world at 65%, what were the dangers and repercussions when it was only 59% of the total in 1995. Don't listen to "hype" and look at historical facts.
