s. (Both one dollar coins and notes exist; although the note form is significantly more common.) Modern U.S. dollar boysfirsttime banknotes have been printed by the Federal Reserve boysfirsttime since 1929. Notes above the $100 denomination boysfirsttime ceased being printed in 1946. These notes were used primarily in inter-bank transactions. However, with the advent of electronic banking, they became useless. History The dollar was boysfirsttime unanimously chosen as the money unit for the boysfirsttime United States on July 6, 1785. This was boysfirsttime the first time a nation had adopted a decimal currency system. Until 1974 the value of the United States dollar boysfirsttime was tied to and backed by either silver, gold, or a combination of the two. From 1792 to 1873 the U.S. dollar was freely backed by both gold and silver at a ratio of 15:1 under a system known as bimetallism. Through a series of legislative changes from 1873 to 1900, the status of silver was slowly diminished until 1900 when a gold standard was formally adopted. The gold standard survived, with several modifications, until 1971. Bimetallism Criticisms of U.S. banknotes Despite the boysfirsttime addition of color and other anti-counterfitting featrues to US currency, boysfirsttime critics hold that it will still be straightforward to b

oysfirsttime counterfeit the bills. They cite that the ability to reproduce color images is well boysfirsttime within the capabilities of modern color printers, most of which are affordable to many consumers. These critics suggest that the Federal Reserve should make use of holographic panels, such as some Australian currency and the euro banknotes do, which are much more difficult and expensive to forge. However, US currency may not be as vulnerable as it seems. Two of the boysfirsttime most critical anti-counterfitting features of US currency are the paper and the ink. The exact composition of the paper is confidential, as is the formula for the ink. The ink and paper combine to boysfirsttime create a feeling of raised printing and a distinct texture, particularly as the currency is circulated. These characteristics can be hard to duplicate without the proper equipment, paper, and ink. US notes, however, remain less secure than many other notes. Critics also state that bills should employ boysfirsttime braille codes to make the boysfirsttime currency more usable by the vision impaired, since the denominations are all the same size, and cannot be distinguished from one another non-visually. Many vision impaired or blind individuals have boysfirsttime said that the different demoninations can be told apart by feel, but many others are forced to rely on currency readers. International use of the boysfirsttime U.S. dollar A few nations outside of boysfirsttime US jurisdiction use the United States dollar (USD) as their boysfirsttime official currency. These nations include Ecuador, Palau, East Timor, Panama and the Federated States of Micronesia. Argentina used a fixed 1-1 exchange rate between the Argentine peso and the boysfirsttime US dollar from 1991 until 2002. The exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the United States dollar has also been fixed since the early 1980s, and the renminbi used by the People's Republic of China has been informally and controversially pegged against the dollar since the mid-1990s. The dollar is also used as the standard unit of currency in international markets for commodities boysfirsttime such as gold and oil.

At the boysfirsttime present time, the United States dollar remains the world's foremost reserve currency, primarily held in $100 denominations. According to economist Paul Samuelson, the overseas demand for dollars allows the United States to maintain persistent trade deficits without causing the value of the currency to boysfirsttime depreciate and the flow of trade to readjust. The majority of American money is boysfirsttime actually held outside of the boysfirsttime United States. Origin of the name Dollar The name for the boysfirsttime United States dollar comes from the boysfirsttime Spanish dollar (which itself derived from the thaler) which was the silver coin widely circulated in the United States during the time of the American Revolutionary War. Although private banks issued currency that was backed in Spanish dollars, the Federal boysfirsttime government didn't do so until the American Civil War. The dollar symbol The origin of the "$" sign boysfirsttime has been variously accounted for. Perhaps boysfirsttime the most widely accepted explanation, accordi

ng to the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, is that it is the result of the evolution of the Mexican or Spanish "P's" for pesos, or piastres, or pieces of eight. This theory, derived from a study of old manuscripts, boysfirsttime explains that the "S," gradually came to be written over the "P," developing a close equivalent to the"$" mark. It was widely used before the adoption of the United States dollar in 1785.
