The term "dollar" refers to various currencies used worldwide, originating from the 16th-century European "thaler." The Spanish dollar influenced American colonies, leading to the creation of the U.S. dollar in 1792. Other national dollars, such as the Canadian dollar (1858), Australian dollar (1966), and New Zealand dollar (1967), emerged, often initially linked to gold. After World War II, the U.S. dollar became the primary global reserve currency, influencing other dollars.
