It is not. The value of world currencies are displayed in USD to American audience and GBP to British audience, etc. Whenever the currency values are displayed to an international audience there are a number of currency indexes which can be used. Most known is the US Dollar Index (Dixie) which notably does not include the USD itself but five other currencies.
