I'm studying economics but I'm not too sure about this. I had to read about it before answering to you. From what I've read and understood this doesn't have anything to do with foreign exchange but more with circulation of tax free money. It is about abolishing fractional reserve banking and using money printed by the government that is issued without interest to the general population. That means that the government needs to have solid backing in it's reserves to keep the currency strong since it is no longer based on an artificial picture. How much silver, or anything that the people agree upon the government holds in it's reserves that is the amount it can print as paper money.
This means that as the government repays it's debt it starts accumulating wealth that it sends out again as paper money for the people to use, interest free or it can choose to do something else.
There are no problems with use of other currencies since it doesn't affect those relations, it merely strenghtens the position of a currency being issued in this way. There is no inflation, deflation, depression and recession. Only a free market that corrects itself periodically and naturally.
