The dollar is an American money, which is also the main unit among the world's reserve currencies. Experts have found that the most of the world's foreign trade turnover is expressed in US dollars. One dollar is equal to one hundred cents. It is also a national currency in many different states, or it is used in parallel with other monetary units. Currently, the largest banknote is represented as 100 dollars, the smallest one is one dollar. Previously, there were banknotes with a larger denomination, such as one thousand, five hundred, five and ten thousand. Soon they withdrew from circulation, and now if they meet, then at auctions or in collections. Such banknotes are considered rare.
Each year the United States of America produces more than 30 million dollar bills of different face value. Most of them are used to replace worn out banknotes. In 1928, it was decided to depict banknotes of prominent American political figures. These included presidents, great publicists, finance ministers, representatives of the Supreme Court. The reverse side of the banknotes depicts the history of the American continent.
Initially, the color of the dollar was green. In the last decade there were banknotes of pink and sand colors. All of them are made of special paper based on flax and cotton, and protected by watermarks, microprint and protective fiber. In the fight against counterfeiters, images and the design of the dollar change every 8-10 years.
