Well, to be fair, the value of the dollar is determined by its buying power. If goods widely increased in cost, then the effective value of the dollar has decreased.

Not saying that's what did or didn't happen on 9/11, though.

Yes, if all goods widely increased in cost (or at least, most). If it's only the goods that people buy in anticipation of (e.g.) a catastrophe, or goods that rely on those aforementioned goods to be manufactured and/or delivered, then the above comment is correct.
