When the price is the same in euros and dollars even though the exchange rate is wildly different, I call that a eurodollar and have done so for over a decade.

IMO the use in the article isn't notable enough to scoop me.

Would being a “fundamental building block of the financial market” [1] be enough? CME launched this futures market in 1981.

No. Such things are irrelevant to people who are underpaid and live on rent. It's just a concern of an extremely privileged few who never care to interact with people like me. Perhaps the system is important. It can get by with a clunky name for how little use it sees.

It's simply not part of my reality.
