The term was coined in 1973 by Georgetown University economics professor, Ibrahim Oweiss, who recognized the need for a term that could describe the dollar receiving by petroleum exporting countries in exchange for oil. The term, petrodollar, should not be confused with petrocurrency which refers to the actual national currency of each petroleum exporting country.
