Eurodollar

Dollars that like to wear Versace shirts open to the navel and a lot of gold jewelry.

Actually, Eurodollars are dollar-denominated bank accounts held outside the U.S. They are like ex-pat dollars sipping wine on the Champs Elysees, working on their novels about ennui and disaffection.

They are dollars, but since they are outside the U.S., they don't fall under the jurisdiction of the usual U.S. banking authorities, specifically the Federal Reserve. As such, the dollars operate amid less stringent regulatory oversight.

So the dollars are free to have their European adventure: make mistakes, fall in and out of casual love affairs, and dance to electronic music at raves until the early morning hours, when it's time to head to the coffee shop to talk about existential theories from Germans with long last names.
