Perhaps all non-USD currencies in total account for more than USD, but USD still makes up the largest single chunk of revenue?


The Eurozone is a massive economic engine. Often depending on rounding, and who did the study will show a larger GDP for EU vs US.


There's little question the Eurozone is a massive economy, however it hasn't grown since 2007:

In that time the US has added $3 trillion to its GDP, going from $14.5 trillion in 2007, to a present $17.65 trillion or so. It's likely the US has reclaimed its title as the largest economic zone. Given the US is set to expand at close to 3% for 2015, and is growing much faster than Europe, that gap is likely to expand in the next few years.
