About the US Dollar
The United States dollar (USD) is the official currency of the United States and one of the most widely used currencies in the world. Represented by the symbol $, the US dollar is divided into 100 cents and is available in a range of banknote and coin denominations. Its history dates back to the Coinage Act of 1792, which established the dollar as the country’s standard monetary unit. Modern US banknotes are issued as Federal Reserve Notes and are easily recognised by their distinctive designs and predominantly green appearance. Beyond the United States, the US dollar is also widely accepted and used internationally for trade, travel and financial transactions. As a major global reserve currency, USD remains one of the most commonly exchanged foreign currencies worldwide.
