Om SDR
Special drawing rights are supplementary foreign exchange reserve assets defined and maintained by the International Monetary Fund. SDRs are units of account for the IMF, and not a currency per se. They represent a claim to currency held by IMF member countries for which they may be exchanged. SDRs were created in 1969 to supplement a shortfall of preferred foreign exchange reserve assets, namely gold and U.S. dollars. The ISO 4217 currency code for special drawing rights is XDR and the numeric code is 960.
SDRs are allocated by the IMF to countries, and cannot be held or used by private parties. The number of SDRs in existence was around XDR 21.4 billion in August 2009. During the 2008 financial crisis, an additional XDR 182.6 billion was allocated to "provide liquidity to the global economic system and supplement member countries' official reserves". By October 2014, the number of SDRs in existence was XDR 204 billion. Due to economic stress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, several finance ministers of poorer countries called for a new allocation to support member economies as they seek ways to recover, and some economists called for the allocation to be as high as $4T. WikipediaOm Amerikansk dollar
US dollar eller Amerikanske dollar er valutaen i USA. Valutakoden er USD. Den har også et eget symbol, $, og skrives ofte US$.
I 1995 var over 380 milliarder amerikanske dollar i omløb, og i april 2004 var beløbet øget til næsten 700 milliarder. Amerikanske dollar er også i udstrakt anvendelse som alternativ valuta uden for USA, særligt i lande hvor den lokale valuta er ustabil på grund af høj inflation. Op mod to tredjedele af de amerikanske dollar er i cirkulation uden for landet. I enkelte lande er anvendelsen af amerikanske dollar blevet så udbredt, at den er blevet landenes de facto-valuta. USA er kun ét af mange lande, der har en valuta kaldet dollar.
En dollar er opdelt i 100 cent. Der er også en anden opdeling, hvor dollaren opdeles i tusinde mills. Denne enhed anvendes i forbindelse med udskrivning af skatter, men der er aldrig udstedt mønter med et antal mills som pålydende værdi. Wikipedia
