Explanation
A dollar is a unit of money used in several countries, most famously the United States. It is represented by the symbol “$.” One dollar is divided into 100 cents. For example, something that costs $5 means you need five dollars to buy it. Different countries, like Canada and Australia, also use dollars as their currency. The word can also be used in a general sense to mean money, wealth, or value. Dollars are used in international trade and are one of the world’s most recognised currencies.
