		U.S. dollar banknotes are printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and, since 1914, have been issued by the Federal Reserve.
		The U.S. dollar broke almost all expectations in 2005 (some analysts previewed the dollar dropping as far as $1.60 per Euro), finished the year with a significant double-digit recovery against the EU Euro and Japanese Yen.

	Hong Kong dollar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A further aim of allowing the Hong Kong Dollar to trade in a range is to avoid the HK dollar being used as a proxy for speculative bets on a Yuan (Renminbi) revaluation.
		The basic unit of the Hong Kong dollar is dollar (圓 for a formal form; 蚊 in spoken Cantonese, perhaps a transliteration of the first syllable of "money", but some suggest that the character is the corruption of 緡; also 元 for a less formal form).
		With the release of one-dollar note pursuant to the One-Dollar Currency Note Ordinance of 1935, the Government acknowledged the Hong Kong Dollar as the local monetary unit.

		Dollarization is the process by which a country abandons its own currency and adopts the currency of a more stable country as its legal tender.
		Though the concept was coined in reference to the US dollar, the conversion to any foreign, stable currency—the European euro, the Japanese yen, the German mark, for example—is usually known as dollarization.
		The US dollar is the most trusted currency in the world and any country that adopts it also adopts the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve Board.

	Peso slides back to P56:$1 on high dollar demand (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		THE PESO slipped back to 56 to the dollar level Thursday on strong demand for greenbacks by corporate buyers hedging their requirements ahead of the May 10 presidential election, and on short-covering by banks amid weakening regional currencies, dealers said.
		The peso traded between 55.760 and 56.000 to the dollar and closed at its intra-day low, which is also its weakest finish in more than three weeks.
		Dealers said the peso's slide was in line with the weakening of regional currencies, including the yen, amid concerns that the Chinese government may adopt a tighter monetary policy to cool its overheating economy.

		The term peso is often used as a short form to refer to the Uruguayan new peso in the post-1975 era.
		The Uruguayan new peso was introduced in 1975 to replace the old peso at the rate of 1,000 old pesos for each new peso.
		So extreme has the devaluation of the peso been that in 1991 Uruguayan authorities began to consider introducing another new peso, equal in value to 1,000 units of the existing new peso.

		The adoption of the US Currency would finally force a re-alignment of taxation in Canada to remain competitive and not rely on the time-honoured tradition of devaluing the dollar as we have become less competitive year after year in the face of higher and higher taxation and a growing debtload.
		The Cdn Dollar may have surprising days of strength but the direction is down and will remain down until our tax structure is changed...no doubt after much more pain.
		Chris Ragan took issue with the banker's view, arguing that the low value of the Canadian dollar was mostly a result of a decline in world commodity prices and that, since Canada is a commodity exporter, such a price decline represents a negative demand shock for Canada.

		A currency board under the Argentinean Model This option is one which has been suggested in a number of articles and the examples quoted are Argentina which is linked to the US Dollar and Lithuania and Estonia which are linked to the Deutsche Mark.
		Because the Peso would be fully linked to the Dollar there would be no need for a Central Bank, except to issue local currency in proportion to the reserves that it held.
		Another possibility under this model would be the establishment of the type of ERM under which a central parity is established against the US Dollar or the US and Canadian Dollars and the currency is allowed to vary between limits around this central parity rate.

		The most recent crisis from 2000 onwards, was probably one of the worst even in this chequered history, coming as it did after nearly a decade of sluggish growth brought on by the deflationary policy induced by the currency board arrangement (which linked the Argentine peso to the US dollar).
		The obsession with inflation control (after the experience of stagflation in the 1980s) led to the arrangement whereby the Argentine peso was linked to the dollar and monetary policy was made very tight to ensure this parity.
		Continued stagnant growth over the 1990s led to the build-up of public debt despite officially deflationary and conservative macroeconomic policies, and by the end of the 1990s it was evident that the peso-dollar link could not be sustained.

	americas.org - Peso’s Value Linked To Euro (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Argentine economy minister Domingo Cavallo shook financial markets with a surprise June 15 announcement that the country would modify the strict pegging of the peso to the U.S. dollar that Cavallo himself introduced 10 years earlier when he was economy minister in the 1989–1999 government of former President Carlos Saúl Menem.
		The new policy will maintain the convertibility of the peso to the dollar in domestic transactions, but for foreign trade the peso will be pegged to an average of the dollar and the European Union (EU) currency, the euro.
		The Chilean peso, which was already declining, fell some more after Cavallo’s announcement; it is now down more than 8 percent since the beginning of the year.

	DCR Assigns 'BBB+' Rating to Colombia's Dollar-Linked TES Program
		The TES notes are payable in domestic currency (peso) and, therefore, their credit profile is akin to that of the Republic's local currency long-term debt rating, currently at 'A-' (Single-A-Minus).
		Interest and principal payments on the notes are, however, linked to the peso-U.S. dollar exchange rate, which in DCR's opinion, limits the rating on this particular instrument to the assigned 'BBB+' (Triple-B-Plus).
		The issuance of the TES is part of a government strategy to cement foreign confidence in the economy, stabilize the peso and attain a target inflation rate of 15 percent by yearend 1999.
