US dollar

The US dollar is the legal currency of the United States and some other countries that have adopted the currency.

The United States took the US dollar as their national currency in 1792 . The dollar goes since the Second World War as an anchor currency in international trade. So are the gold - and oil prices expressed in the international trade market in dollars.

Especially since 2002 the US dollar loses its status increasingly dominant currency. The European currency, the euro, is thus to be a great competitor. Also, the Chinese renminbi is seen as a future key currency in the world. The governor of the Chinese central bank "People's Bank of China said in March 2009 for the dollar as a reserve currency to replace a "basket" of some currencies. [1] However, the Russian Finance Minister Kudrin said in June 2009 that the position of the US dollar as the leading reserve currency was not discussed. [2]
