Abstract: Recent geopolitical tensions have put the hegemonic role of the dollar, and its potential demise, back into the spotlight. Looking at a new long run measure of global currency competition over two centuries, no global currency leader has been able to sustain such a large lead over its competitors for such a prolonged period.

Les récentes tensions géopolitiques ont replacé au cœur des réflexions le rôle hégémonique du dollar et son potentiel déclin. Une nouvelle mesure à long terme de la concurrence entre monnaies à l’échelle mondiale montre qu’en deux siècles, aucune des grandes devises internationales n’a été capable de conserver aussi longtemps un tel leadership.
