Correction on shrugging

I believe that is $4k per citizen. Maybe you would still like the $4K but still a lot less. The UN does not set the international reserve currency. I believe you are thinking about the Brenton Woods agreement, post WWII with countries, not UN, decided to place US dollar at center of monetary trading. It has not been operative in the last 30 years. The de facto reserve currency is decided by what currency or currencies they decide to hold. Both the dollar and euro are popular.
