Currently the US is borrowing from China and Japan.  Saudi Arabia has a fair share as well.  But I think most of the debt is privately held in bonds.\n\nIf you want to dig up a complete list, you might try to look at the federal reserve's website.\n\nhttp://www.federalreserve.gov/\n\nI cant guarantee you will find anything, but there is a very large amount of information there that most people choose to ignore.

I heard 25% of our deficit is owed to Japan and China.  I don't know the exact amount per country.

The Government keeps records of ownership of all Government securities.  Here is a link to the Bureau of Public Debt contact page.  You can email, snail mail or call them.\n\nGood luck!\n\nhttp://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/bpd/bpdemail.htm

US dollar\nwhen our ecnomy sinks, so does the worlds, they don't really counterfeit Euros ( why would you want to ) as US Dollar is tops worldwide ( we export billions to other countries ). Sure other currencies may rise against the dollar, but everyone want our US dollar, everyone.

1.00 USD United States Dollars = 1.64038 DEM\nGermany Deutsche Marks (obsolete)\n\n1.00 USD United States Dollars = 7.84828 SEK\nSweden Kronor\n\nHowever,  On January 1, 1999, eleven of the countries in the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) decided to give up their own currencies and adopt the Euro (EUR) currency: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. Greece followed suit on January 1, 2001. The Vatican City also participated in the changeover. This changeover is now complete.\n\nEuro bank notes and coins began circulating in the above countries on January 1, 2002. At that time, all transactions in those countries were valued in Euro, and the "old" notes and coins of these countries were gradually withdrawn from circulation. The precise dates that each "old" currency ceased being legal tender are noted in the table below...\n\n1.00 USD United States Dollars =  0.838647 EUR\nEuro

You can get all the info you want on US banknotes from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving at http://www.bep.treas.gov/ & on coinage from http://www.usmint.gov/ .\n\nBTW the previous posters are correct. Jefferson is on the face of the two dollar bill and on the heads side of the nickle.

go to a book store and buy a copy of Official Guide to U S Paper Money. Or if you have just a few, don't even buy the book, just right down the pertinent information and go look it up in the book store. Condition is critial to the value. Generally, a note in good condition is worth about 10% of what a note in uncirulated condition is worth. I assume they are U S notes.

You should be able to research this by typing "History of United States Currency" into Google or Yahoo search.

Currency denominations on one country are not based on currency of another country. The US dollar is a standard of measure in the US, regardless of its performance against other currencies, such as the Euro or pound.

no one is protected by the constitution were all living under the federal reserve corporation even our money system is based on only notes (IOU'S) united states went bankrupt during the great depression. in the constitution it says money is only supposed to be gold and silver so why are we using notes?

I don't think England would be wise to give up the monetary system they currently have. Joining the Euro system would be the same as using the American dollar. You would be assimilated, with no identity then. I am an American, and I don't like the fascism going on with the Republicans, and the current Bush Administration. Americans wont go along with it for to long without a revolt, and I see that happening really soon.

I don't understand why this is a big deal. Most other countries already do something along this line, and it's a simple fix. Canada has a pattern of raised dots in the upper right corner of their banknotes. Mexico is presently issuing banknotes with raised marks in the upper right hand corner. On Japanese banknotes, the raised dots are in the watermark area.\n\nThis is a case where the US trails behind the rest of the world. These markings are also a good anti-counterfieting measure (along with the iridescent bands used on the Canadian, Mexican, and Euro banknotes) and holograms (Used on Canadian and Euro notes). This is a case of the US being kind of stupid, since they don't want to spend money to make the US dollar harder to fake.\n\nComments?

Mickey Mouse?\n\nThere isn't a $1,000,000 note printed by the US Treasury Department.  The largest note printed was the $1,000 bill, but it - as well as the next highest, the $500 bill have been out of print for a long time.
