About US Dollar
The US Dollar (USD) is the world's primary reserve currency, used in approximately 88% of all foreign exchange transactions globally. Introduced in 1792 with the Coinage Act, the dollar became the cornerstone of the international monetary system under the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement. Even after the gold standard was abandoned in 1971, the dollar maintained its dominant status - oil and most global commodities are priced in dollars, and major sovereign debt is primarily denominated in USD. The Federal Reserve System (Fed) manages US monetary policy.
About Malaysian Ringgit

The word "ringgit" means "jagged" in Malay, describing the milled or serrated edges of old Spanish silver dollars that once circulated in the region. Bank Negara Malaysia manages monetary policy. Malaysia has one of Southeast Asia's most diversified and developed economies, with major exports including electronics, petroleum products, palm oil, rubber, and liquefied natural gas.
