Currency is the medium through which we exchange value, enabling commerce and trade on a global scale. Different currencies are used around the world, each with its own value against others, which fluctuates based on economic conditions. From the US Dollar to the Euro, each currency plays a role in shaping the economic dynamics of countries and markets.
- United States Dollar (USD): The standard currency of the US, widely used in international transactions and considered a global reserve currency.
