A) Most of the U. S. currency in existence circulates outside U. S. borders.

Explanation:

Both the Secretary of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve estimate that around 60% of all US dollar bills are held in foreign countries.

The US dollar is considered the strongest and most stable currency in the world. That is the reason why so many governments use the US dollar as a reserve of value. Some foreign countries even adopted the US dollar as their own currency, e. g. El Salvador, Ecuador, Guam, Zimbabwe, etc.
