The size of the dollar in millimeters. Do banknotes vary in size?

Each country has its own national currency, but for some reason most people in the world are already used to counting everything in US dollars. It seems strange only at first glance, but if you understand the issue better, then everything looks logical. After all, the size of the dollar and its image are familiar to everyone, which means that any person will understand the equivalent value of the goods (even if he is from another country).

What are the dollars?

The US currency is issued in two forms: in the form of coins (1, 2, 5, 10 and 50 cents), and in paper form (banknotes of 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100 units).

The fact that banknotes circulating outside the United States cannot circulate within the country itself is little known. They are seized as soon as they enter the state.

Better than others, everyone is familiar with the appearance and size of the dollar face value of 100 units. If you measure its length and height in mm, then the size will be 189 by 79 mm. If you take 100 thousand in one hundred dollar bills, you get a big brick in shape. It looks a little, but how much you can afford for this total amount to buy!

The rarest banknote

There is a popular belief that a two-dollar banknote is quite rare, and therefore valued above the rest (not in the literal sense). But this statement is just a fallacy, as it is printed as often as banknotes of a different denomination.

The explanation is much simpler - it just is rather inconvenient in practical application, for this reason ordinary Americans prefer not to pay with it. On the contrary, it is specially worn in wallets, as a kind of symbol that attracts luck and wealth.

Most popular banknote

It is easy to guess that the most common and most in demand banknote is 1 dollar. The explanation is simple - it is easy to use and count, therefore it is popular. The size of the dollar, the photo of which can be seen below, is the same as that of $ 100.

All US banknotes are the same size regardless of denomination!
