The unit of American currency is the dollar, and the symbol is the dollar. 1 yuan is equivalent to 100 minute, and the symbol of the minute is C. Coins are divided into four common types: 1 (1c), 5 (5c), 10 (10c), and 25 (. There are seven kinds of common paper money, all of which are the same size, shape and color. Please check the amount and face value carefully. The common seven types are 1 USD, 2 USD, 5 USD,1USD, 20 USD, 50 USD and 100 USD. In most places, prices are written in decimal currency system. For example, if the unit price is $ 19.99 cents, write it as $ 19.99. If you ask the store the price, they will omit the monetary unit and just say "99.9", or answer "90.99" as the saying goes.
