Yes, everything is correct. Surely everyone knows that the US dollar is the official currency of the United States. In the international currency market, it is denoted by the Latin letters USD, the numeric code 4217 and the $ sign, which is correct to write before the amount ($ 9.99). The dollar is one of the world's reserve currencies, along with the EUR and the Swiss franc.
Legally, this monetary unit was accepted by Congress in 1785, but the mint in Philadelphia appeared only 6 years later, the first coins in 1793, and banknotes in 1861. It is noteworthy that all of them can be used at the present time.
The dollar consists of 100 cents, which are issued in coins of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 (1 dollar) cents. Banknotes also start at $ 1, followed by 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 dollars. Bills of 500, 1000, 5000 and 10 000 dollars were also issued between 1945 and 1969.
