Who Issues Micronesia's Money

Micronesia uses an externally issued currency as its primary monetary unit: the US Dollar (USD). That distinguishes the arrangement from a domestic national issue. The symbol is $, and ISO 4217 records numeric identifier 840.

For Micronesia, the underlying US Dollar comes from the external monetary system associated with Federal Reserve System. Micronesia uses that currency as legal tender without creating a separate national series of USD banknotes.
