$ 读作:dollar 发音英 [ˈdɒlə(r)];美 [ˈdɑ:lə(r)]。
$ 是指美元的简称美元(UNITED STATES DOLLAR)俗称美金,是美国的货币,货币符号为USD。英文翻译 US dollar; American dollar。
美元也叫美金。美国的法定货币。1793年开始发行。原为金币,1934年改为纸币。法定每盎司黄金价格为35美元。第二次世界大战后,美元成为世界货币。
关于这个美元标志的由来,有许多说法,其中较为普遍的有两种。一种说法认为,这个符号是将一个写得较窄的U放在一个写得较宽的S上形成的,所以它代表了美国(United States)的美元符号。另一种说法却指出,它是PS叠合写法的演变。
PS是18至19世纪期间美国的一种圆形硬币比索(Pesos)的缩写,这种硬币在1974年美国正式建立造币厂以前一直在全国通用。后来美国政府认可了$这个符号作为新货币的一个单位,即一美元。在书写时,$要摆在数字前面。如1美元应写成$1,50美元写成$50 。
