| | United States dollar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This coin was popular among American colonists, who called it the Spanish dollar, the name having derived from a German coin of similar size and composition known as the thaler. | | | The Susan B. Anthony dollar coin was introduced in 1979; these proved to be unpopular because they were often mistaken for quarters, thanks to their nearly-equal size, their milled edge, and their similar color. | | | Even foreign companies with little direct presence in the United States, such as the European company Airbus, list and sell their products in dollars, although some argue this is attributed to the aerospace market being dominated by US companies. |

| | The Dollar Crisis -- And Why |
| | To understand what is at stake, we need to examine the history of the American dollar, and the international monetary system, which is underpinned by the U.S. dollar and was constructed in the middle of the last century. | | | Its value was set at 24.75 grains of fine gold, with the coinage of silver dollars set to the value of the Spanish milled dollar. | | | The buying power of the American dollar is shrinking. |

| | On the other side were Eastern banking and commercial interests who advocated sound money and a switch to the gold standard. | | | As photographic technology of the day could not reproduce color, it was decided the back of the bills would be printed in a color other than black. | | | Under the post-World War II Bretton Woods system, all other currencies were valued in terms of U.S. dollars and were thus indirectly linked to the gold standard. |

| | Who Owns the Dollar? |
| | In the meantime, even a small country could pop the U.S. housing bubble by dumping dollar reserves—which is some fix for a superpower to be in, especially one that is disdainful of the opinion of the rest of the world. | | | It is larger than with Canada and Mexico combined, two countries in which U.S. corporations manufacture cars, appliances, and a variety of big-ticket items for American markets. | | | What economists overlook is that when we speak of the Chinese economy, we are speaking in large part of the relocation of American manufacturing to China. |
