Adopted by the Congress of the Confederation of the United States on July 6, 1785, the U.S. dollar is the currency most used in international transactions. Several countries use the U.S. dollar as their official currency, and many others allow it to be used in a de facto capacity.
In 1995, over US $380 billion were in circulation, two-thirds of which was outside the United States. By 2005, that figure had doubled to nearly $760 billion, with an estimated half to two-thirds being held overseas, representing an annual growth rate of about 7.6%.
However, as of December 2006, the dollar was surpassed by the euro in terms of combined value of cash in circulation. Since then the current value of euro cash in circulation has risen to more than €695 billion, equivalent to US$1,029 billion at current exchange rates.

so the pyramid with the eye wasn’t always there?
this means the new world order began when they changed the 1 dollar note…
Do you notice what’s missing from nearly all of those notes?
Religious pornography is missing.
The offensive and obscene phrase “in god we trust” was not put on paper currency until 1957, which is why it is missing on all bills made before then.
