hard currency

Currency commonly accepted across the world. Hard currencies are usually those of the industrialized nations. US dollars and pounds sterling are two of the most popular hard currencies. Retailers in countries with soft currencies, such as the old USSR, China, and many African states, often prefer to take hard currency, instead of their national currency, in exchange for goods and services.
