The dollar is subdivided into 100 cents and is represented by the symbol $.

Since its introduction in the late 18th century, the US Dollar has undergone several changes. It serves not only as the currency for transactions within the United States but also as a global reserve currency. Many countries hold USD as part of their foreign exchange reserves due to its stability and widespread acceptance. This means that when people think of money, they often think of the US Dollar.

In terms of value, the USD fluctuates based on several factors, including economic indicators, interest rates, and geopolitical stability.
