It's perhaps likely that the USD will fall relative to the Euro and other major currencies. However, it's highly unlikely that it will plummet to the extent that you're worried about. For those who do it, there is a very real danger of putting all of one's money into assets such as stocks, real estate, and precious metals; all of which are, in a sense, synthetic short positions on the USD.
If the USD were start going to pot, the Federal Reserve, if it wanted, could very quickly strengthen the USD through various open market operations to reduce the amount of money circulating through the economy. Note that there is one scenario that the Fed cannot arrest and that is a global repudiation of the USD and Treasury debt. That would be a tidal wave that would utterly destroy the USD but it's a highly unlikely scenario. As of yet, Europe, Australia, Japan, and quite few other large economies have not given any indications that they will ditch the USD. It would be global economic mayhem if something like that were to happen and the powers that be in the western nations do not want that. If the USD is to be decommissioned as the currency of account for international trade settlements, it will be an orderly dismantling of the current system.
So in your case, I personally think you're doing fine. You have about $10,000 in silver and $36,000 in cash, putting you at about a 4:1 cash/PMs ratio. The PMs will protect the purchasing power of your cash. I think that you could put yourself into a 1:1 cash/PMs ratio. PM prices are currently high but you should consider adding a bit of gold to the mix because it'll be less volatile than silver and, if the USD eats it, I suspect gold will move sharply upward before silver.
