Falling Dollar

From   http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1666266,00.html
"  It's not that we Americans have gotten a lot poorer. It's that we might be about to. "

What is average share of the greenback in big economies' (EU, Russia, Australia, India, China) treasury reserves? 60%? 70%? 80%?
Isn't it the cheapest option for the world - to bailout America, rather then to let it declare bankruptcy?

And some links to other articles on the topic:
