USD — Introduction

The US dollar officially became the official currency of the United States in 1792, initially adopting the gold and silver standard. After World War II, the US dollar became the world's main reserve currency in the Bretton Woods system. In 1971, the United States abolished the peg of the US dollar to gold and switched to a floating exchange rate. Today, the US dollar is still the dominant currency in global trade, investment and financial markets, enjoying a high degree of international credit and widespread use.
