Petrodollars are just U.S. dollars that an oil exporter accepts as payment; they are not separate currencies.

Petrodollars are the proceeds from the export of crude oil. The phrase became popular in the middle of the 1970s, when rising oil prices led to significant trade and current account profits for nations that exported oil.

The U.S. dollar was and is by far the most extensively used currency, oil sales and the associated current account profits were both expressed in dollars back then as they are now.

This does not mean oil cannot be traded in other currencies, the crux of the matter is, Crude prices are set in the US dollar, so it does not matter how it is traded, it ends up being valued by the US dollar which simply makes it easier to be traded in the currency as there is a risk of over selling or underselling if another currency is used.

The acceptance of the U.S. dollar around the world is independent of oil producers' goodwill. It is based on the fact that the United States has the biggest economy in the world, is the world's largest importer of goods, and has a strong legal system and a strong military.

The 1974 agreement between the United States and Saudi Arabia to transfer Saudi petrodollars into U.S. Treasury bonds is a prime example of petrodollar recycling. This gives more trade reliability even to the use of the dollar.

The Petroyuan: A Replacement to the Petrodollar The petrodollar has competitions and its strongest competition is coming from one of America’s greatest rival, China.

Petroyuan is a version of the Yuan, the currency used by the Chinese officially, which was first designed for oil transactions. The Chinese government published the first long-term oil trading contracts in Petroyuan on March 26, 2018.

The goal of this project is to rival with the American petrodollar, which has dominated the marketplace since the dollar benchmark was introduced in 1971 and replaced the gold standard, giving the US control over the majority of the global currency supply.

The Yuan, also known as Renminbi will gain more credibility on the global market if it is used as payment in the oil transaction between China and Saudi Arabia.

The concern is that Saudi Arabia’s adoption of the Renminbi would cause a ripple effect that would likely change international trade permanently.

The US dollar's position as the main currency in the world will undoubtedly be impacted if more and more nations adopt the Chinese yuan.

With the United States being so powerful and able to slap economic sanctions on any country that does not do her bidding, many nations throughout the world start to understand that they shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket as a result.

Russia is now mandating those nations it considers to be "unfriendly" to pay for their imports of oil and gas in rubles rather than in US dollars in order to circumvent sanctions from the United States.

In this video, I'm going to discuss the US petrodollar and why it won't exist in 5 years. I'll explain how the US government got in debt and how they'll have to pay it back with our taxes.

The petrodollar is a fiat currency that is based on oil reserves. The US government originally got into debt to create this currency, and now they're going to have to pay it back with our taxes.

The petrodollar won't exist in 5 years, and we'll be using different currencies to purchase goods and services.
