What does America call their money?

In America, money is commonly referred to as "dollars." The basic unit of currency is the U.S. dollar, which is symbolized by the "$" sign. Paper currency comes in denominations of $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100, while coins include denominations of 1 cent (penny), 5 cents (nickel), 10 cents (dime), 25 cents (quarter), and higher values like the half dollar. Collectively, Americans may also refer to their money informally as "cash."
