United States
The U.S. dollar is fiat money. It is the currency most used in international transactions and is the world's most dominant reserve currency. Several countries use it as their official currency, and in many others it is the de facto currency.
Besides the United States, it is also used as the sole currency in two British Overseas Territories in the Caribbean: the British Virgin Islands and the Turks and Caicos islands. A few countries use only the U.S. Dollar for paper money, while the country mints its own coins, or also accepts U.S. coins that can be used as payment in U.S. dollars, such as the Susan B. Anthony dollar.

Frequently asked questions
Which periods and denominations are represented in the United States banknote catalog?
This shop’s United States catalog covers notes dated from the 1800s through 2009. Dollar denominations represented include $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100, alongside entries titled as 5-cent and 50-cent notes. The catalog also includes a 2001 fantasy $1,000,000 note, which is identified separately as a fantasy banknote. These selections describe the shop’s catalog and are not a complete list of every United States issue.
Which Pick references and note groups can collectors find in the United States section?
The catalog includes a broad sequence of Pick references, including P455, P461a, P468, P474, P480a, P480b, P490a, P496a, P497a, P499, P509a, P515a, P515b, P516a, P516b, P517a, P517b, P520, P521a, P521b, P523a, P526, P530a, P530Aa and P531. Earlier or specialised entries include P M29, P M78r and P M98. Collectors can use these references to group related denominations and variants.
How can I distinguish United States notes with different letter variants?
Several United States listings share a Pick reference while differing by a letter designation in the title. Examples include P461a with letters B and K, P474 with B, G and I, and P523a with B, C, D, G and J. The P515a group also includes several letter variants. When identifying a note, compare its year, Pick reference and letter designation with the catalog record rather than relying on denomination alone.
What should I compare when organising United States notes by issue or variant?
Start by recording the year shown in the catalog title, then the denomination, Pick reference and letter designation where one is given. Pay attention to suffixes such as 1981A, 1988A, 2003A and 2004A, because the catalog distinguishes these entries from the corresponding unsuffixed years. Condition labels also vary, including VF, XF and UNC. Keeping these details together helps separate similar-looking United States notes within a collection.
What should I check before buying a United States banknote from this catalog?
Review the complete listing title and model information, including denomination, year, Pick reference, letter variant and stated grade. Some records include a product image note, while others identify the note through the catalog information alone, so compare the available images and description carefully. Also distinguish ordinary currency entries from the explicitly labelled fantasy $1,000,000 note. The catalog record should be your reference for the specific item offered, rather than a general description of United States currency.
Why is the $1 denomination a notable collecting theme in this United States catalog?
The United States section shows an extended run of $1 entries from 1974 through 2009, covering references such as P455, P474, P480a, P480b, P490a, P496a, P509a, P515a, P515b, P523a and P530a. Several of these groups are represented by different letter variants, including multiple letters for P515a and P523a. This makes the $1 denomination a useful area for comparing dates, Pick references, suffixes, letters and grades.
