The U.S. Dollar is said to be one of the most stable currencies globally and the most universal as well.

The currency is accepted virtually everywhere in the world as a medium of exchange and influences markets and governments. Not only is the dollar strong, it also influences the monetary policies of respective governments.

Many countries compare the strength of their currencies against the Dollar's performance to determine their economic health and international standing.

While countries like Japan, Britain, and Switzerland boast of currencies that compare to the dollar, some African countries equally boast of the stability of their currencies and the respective influence they carry globally.
