It is a country that lends and buys goods from countries affected by world wars in Europe and Asia. It is also a land that contains approximately two-thirds of the world’s gold, and during World War II, the United States began to discuss how to make a currency exchange system by finding the world’s central currency. And the result is the US currency. and have more economic power in the world as well.

         The Fed is the central bank of the United States through the Federal Reserve System. It is responsible for organizing the efficient operation of the United States’ economy. This includes maximizing employment; stabilizing the financial system; regulating and overseeing the stability of financial institutions; and managing the efficiency of the US payment system through monetary policy like any other central bank in the world. These include setting the policy interest rate; adding liquidity to the economy; maintaining the exchange rate; and issuing financial aid measures.

If we can exchange a lot more than usual, it will be another factor that affects the decision to choose to travel to that country as well.
