About US Dollar ($)
The US Dollar (USD, ISO 4217 code 840) is the official currency of the United States, issued by the Federal Reserve System (the US central bank, est. 1913). Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes circulate in $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 denominations; coins in 1¢ (penny), 5¢ (nickel), 10¢ (dime), 25¢ (quarter), 50¢, $1. USD is the world's primary reserve currency (~58% of global FX reserves per IMF COFER Q1 2024), the dominant currency in international trade (~88% of foreign-exchange transactions involve USD per BIS Triennial Survey 2022), and the unit of pricing for global commodities (oil, gold, copper, wheat). Also legal tender in Ecuador, El Salvador (alongside Bitcoin since 2021), Panama (alongside Balboa), Zimbabwe, East Timor, and a dozen Pacific island nations. The Federal Reserve targets 2% PCE inflation per its dual mandate (price stability + maximum employment) per the Federal Reserve Act + Humphrey-Hawkins Act 1978.
About Thai Baht (฿)
The Thai Baht (THB, ISO 4217 code 764, symbol ฿) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Thailand, issued by the Bank of Thailand (BoT, est. 1942). Subdivided into 100 satang. Banknotes: ฿20 (King Rama IX commemorative; King Rama X regular series), ฿50, ฿100, ฿500, ฿1000 (current Series 17 introduced 2018 featuring King Rama X — Maha Vajiralongkorn — replacing King Rama IX Bhumibol Adulyadej after his death October 13, 2016); coins: 25 satang, 50 satang, ฿1, ฿2, ฿5, ฿10. The baht (or tical historically — old British usage) has been the unit of measure for gold trade in Thailand for centuries (1 baht of gold = 15.244 grams of 96.5% pure gold). The Asian Financial Crisis of July 2, 1997 began with the floating of the Thai baht (which had been pegged at ฿25 per USD) after BoT exhausted reserves defending the peg — the baht devalued ~50% in 6 months. Thailand is Southeast Asia's 2nd-largest economy after Indonesia. BoT targets 1-3% CPI inflation per the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) inflation-targeting framework adopted 2000.
