Eurodollar
A Eurodollar is not a currency. It is a U.S.-dollar denominated deposit at a foreign banks, or held at foreign branches of American banks. Eurodollar accounts are commonly used for settling [paying for] international transactions such as would be the case when a U.S. based exporter sold goods on open account terms to a European purchaser based on the seller's evaluation of the buyer's creditworthiness.
