The US dollar is the most important international currency rate because it is the most commonly used currency in international trade and it’s also the current world reserve currency.

The United States used the gold standard starting in 1900, as opposed to the bimetallic standard of gold and silver used by some other countries. In 1972 President Nixon forbade the ability to directly convert the USD to gold. In 1975 the dollar became a fiat currency depending on the price of gold and the conversion rate of other countries, and had no intrinsic value of its own.
