Special drawing rights

Special drawing rights (SDRs) are an international type of money. It's like a type of currency that other countries can trade with each other. It's not the same as the money you use in your home country. It doesn't have a value like dollars, euros, or pounds. Instead, it's "pegged" to a basket of other world currencies like the US dollar, British pound, euro, and Japanese yen. Countries can use SDRs to make payments to each other.
