I think it would be better if it's something international.

Like it or not, a 1$ bill certainly is "something international" ;)

No, not at all. I'd be hard pressed to get a hold of one where I lived in Sweden. Yes, I could go to the bank and get $20 or $100. I have a stack of standard sized cards in my pocket.

Well you'd also be hard-pressed to get ahold of a can of Coke in North Korea but it's still "something international" ;)

Internationality of bill comes from it's usefulness for savings. So 100$ is international, and 1$ is not

Why not any of these types of objects, coins, notes, cards, a ruler? Most are easy to recognize.
