The United States dollar (sign: $; code: USD; also abbreviated US$ and referred to as the dollar, U.S. dollar, or American dollar) is the official currency of the United States and its overseas territories. It is a Federal Reserve Note and consists of 100 smaller cent units.
The U.S. dollar is fiat money. It is the currency most used in international transactions and is the world's most dominant reserve currency. Several countries use it as their official currency, and in many others it is the de facto currency. Besides the United States, it is also used as the sole currency in two British Overseas Territories in the Caribbean: the British Virgin Islands and the Turks and Caicos islands. A few countries use only the U.S. Dollar for paper money, while the country mints its own coins, or also accepts U.S. coins that can be used as payment in U.S. dollars, such as the Susan B. Anthony dollar.
The Constitution of the United States of America provides that the United States Congress has the power "To coin money". Laws implementing this power are currently codified at 31 U.S.C. § 5112. Section 5112 prescribes the forms, in which the United States dollars should be issued. These coins are both designated in Section 5112 as "legal tender" in payment of debts. The Sacagawea dollar is one example of the copper alloy dollar. The pure silver dollar is known as the American Silver Eagle. Section 5112 also provides for the minting and issuance of other coins, which have values ranging from one cent to 50 dollars. These other coins are more fully described in Coins of the United States dollar.
Iowa officials have finally solved the case of the "mystery lotto winner" from 2010. Eddie Raymond Tipton, 51, was a security chief for Iowa's 'Hot Lotto' company, but it's alleged that in November 2010, Tipton hacked the office cameras so they didn't record him uploading a self-destructing program that instructed the system to randomly select a number that he had chosen. Not long after, a 'mystery man' won the US$14.3 million jackpot, but no one claimed the prize. A person did try and collect and did produce the valid ticket, but lottery officials did not release the jackpot as the person did not reveal info that could prove the was the rightful winner. In January 2015, Tipton was identified and charged with "illegally playing the lottery," but after his arrest, the scale of his Miss...

El coordinador Nacional del Nuevo Modelo de Gestión Penitenciaria afirma que en el país el gasto diario por recluso oscila entre los US$12 y US$14 e indica que el 95% de quienes cumplen condena en estos centros no reincide en el delito, por lo cual el modelo es imitado en otros países. Ysmael Paniagua Guerrero dijo que en cinco años todas las cárceles del país podrían pasar al nuevo modelo, en caso de existir voluntad política para lograrlo. Dijo que lo ideal sería construir una gran ciudad penitenciaria que podría tener un costo de US$500 millones. Al destacar los avances en el programa penitenciario a su cargo, Paniagua dijo que los reclusos a diferencia de lo que ocurre en los Centros de Corrección y Rehabilitación, no tienen acceso a celulares y reciben un programa de estudios y labore...

The divide between the most and least peaceful regions deepened with many Middle Eastern and African countries sinking further into violence, according to research by the Australia-based Institute for Economics and Peace.

My daddy came a-marchin'
Over the hill at dawn
Had to make that wage, man
That's how we got along
My daddy's life was workin'
Workin' all day long
Put food on the table
And the children sang a song
Yes, the children sang a song
My granddad's name was Pulpwood
Wore a coat of green
Took a wife in '31
Drove the big machine
My daddy load the lumber
Put it on the truck
I used to see him walkin' home
On U.S. 41
That's right, U.S. 41
Well, all my life's been workin'
Out the door and gone
Got to make that overtime
Keep us movin' on
I need a drink of water
Get out of the sun
Burnin' up to make that wage
That's right, U.S. 41
The boss man owns the business
Keeps it goin' strong
Blowin' like a hurricane
And work like nothing wrong
We got to keep on movin'
'Til the bell gone ring
Fill her up with kerosene
And let that lady sing
Whoa, now let that lady sing
His given name was Lucky
His wife's name, Annie Brown
Ran outside the law
And they chased him right on down
Lucky faced the lawman
The captain drew his gun
They put him with a sling blade
On U.S. 41
That's right, U.S. 41
Yeah, that's right
On U.S. 41
My daddy came a-marchin'
Over the hill at dawn
