The United States bone ( symbol$; canon USD; also abridgedUS$ orU.S. Dollar, to distinguish it from other bone- baptized currencies; appertained to as the bone,U.S. bone, American bone, or colloquially buck) is the authorized currency of the United States and its habitats. The Coinage Act of 1792 introduced theU.S. bone at par with the Spanish flatware bone dollar buy sell, divided it into 100 cents, and authorized the minting of coins baptized in bones and cents.U.S. bills are issued in the form of Federal Reserve Notes, popularly called banknotes due to their historically generally green color.
TheU.S. bone waxed an important transnational reserve currency after the First World War and displaced the pound sterling as the world's primary reserve currency by the Bretton Woods Agreement towards the end of the Second World War.

These other coins are more exhaustively described in Coins of the United States bone.
