Abstract
Nowadays, with globalization, the exchanges all over the world are increasing more than ever. One can say that it is necessary to have an international currency in order to structure the exchanges between countries all over the world. Internationalisation of a currency starts with its use as a means of payment before being used as a store of value or a unit of account. The system of Bretton Woods, which organized the international monetary system around the American Dollar, combined with the Marshall Plan and propelled the US as the principal supplier of goods and service to Europe after the Second World War and gave the status of International currency to the American Dollar. However, one can read that Euro is a potential candidate to become the international currency by ending the supremacy of Dollar since the end of the Second World War.
