How far beyond? 10000 years? Define major.  This could be said of any
year and be correct.
How far beyond? 10000 years? Define the severity of these devaluations.
Any economist could tell you the US dollar is overvalued, to be
prophetic one must be specific.
See 3 above.
How big?
How colossal?  What "other countries?"
Duh.  This is common and predictable human behavior, it doesn't take a
prophet to predict this.
So this is your way out.  If these things don't occur, the "great
prophet" will claim that it is because everyone did as he said.
Frankly, for these predictions, he probably doesn't even need a way out.
I'm holding my breath! ;)
