    The international dollar (int’l dollar or intl dollar, symbols Int’l$., Intl$., Int$), also known as Geary–Khamis dollar (symbols G–K$ or GK$), is a hypothetical unit of currency that has the same purchasing power parity that the U.S. dollar had in the United States at a given point in time

    $ is also used in many fictional settings as a currency symbol, often in video games.

      Lol those two dudes really got to attach their name to this idea? The idea that we can use ‘$’ to symbolize a hypothetical currency equivalent to USD?

      Really??? Good for them I guess…
