英語(yǔ)閱讀輔導(dǎo):金融國(guó)際貨幣

字號(hào):

American money is widely used in the world and it works on the metric system. The American government prints money in the following denominations: $10, 000; $5,000; $1,000; $500; $100; $50; $10; $5; $2;$1.
    Very few people see all these bills; twenties, tens fives and ones are the most commonly used. We can find a picture of George Washington on the $ 1 bill, Abraham Lincoln on the $ 5, Alexander Hamilton on the $ 10 and Andrew Jackson on the $ 20. There are also pictures on the back (the White House on the $20, the Treasury building on the $ 10, the Lincoln Memorial on the $5 and a big " ONE" and the American insignia on the $1)。 However, all paper currency is printed on the same size white paper with green ink, so you have to look carefully before handing someone money and when receiving change. Your best bet is to forget the pictures and concentrate on the large numbers in all four corners on the front and back.
    American coins are easy to remember. One American dollar is equal to 100 cents or pennies. A half-dollar is 50 cents. All but the penny and the nickel are made of silver. The penny is made of copper. The nickel is made of a metal called nickel.
    美國(guó)的貨幣在世界各地廣泛使用而且遵循的是公制。美國(guó)政府印制的錢(qián)幣有以下比值:一萬(wàn)元、五千元、一千元、五百元、一百元、五十元、二十元、十元、五元和一元。
    很少有人見(jiàn)到過(guò)所有的這些錢(qián)幣;二十元、十元、五元和一元是常見(jiàn)的。我們能夠看到一元的鈔票上有喬治。華盛頓的頭像,五元上有亞伯拉罕。林肯;十元上有亞歷山大。漢彌爾頓;二十元上有安德魯。杰克遜。背面上也有圖像。(二十元上有白宮,十元上有財(cái)政大廈,五元上有林肯紀(jì)念堂,一元上有大寫(xiě)的"ONE"和美國(guó)的標(biāo)志)。但是所有的紙幣都是用綠墨印在大小相同的紙張上的,所以你在交錢(qián)和找零頭的時(shí)候必須看仔細(xì)。的辦法是忘記那些圖像,集中注意正反兩面四個(gè)角上的數(shù)字。
    美國(guó)的硬幣很好記。一美元相當(dāng)于100美分。半美元是50美分。除了一分和五分之外,其他的硬幣都是銀制的。一分是銅做的,五分是鎳做的。
