Native-currency series are rescaled by each economy's own latest USD ratio: the shape of the line is exact, the level of older points is approximate. Use the country pages for the source figures.
THE DIFFERENCE
UNITED STATES's money stock is 82.9% larger than UNITED KINGDOM's — $30.68T against $5.24T. At their current rates (6.6% and 5.0% a year) United States doubles in 10.9Y and United Kingdom in 14.2Y.
⚠ NOT A WEALTH RANKING
"So the bigger number is the richer country?" No. Broad money counts deposits and currency outstanding, not wealth, not output and not purchasing power. A country can have a large money stock and a poor population, and the reverse. It is also not comparable to GDP, and the two series here are measured on different dates by different agencies.
