How much a coin is worth is different in different countries. What about spped limit is it the same in America as it would be in other countries? Or would like 40 mph in America be like 20 in other countries or something like that?

Speed limits are imposed by the government of each country which imposes such limits by weighing the road conditions versus populated infrastructures. Other countries (in Europe) impose speed limits based on these factors and measure velocity in Kilometers per Hour (kph). In Germany, the use of the Autobahn is speed restricted (imposed limits) near populated areas. Outside these areas there is no speed restrictions, therefore you can drive as fast a your vehicle can carry you.
When you look at your speedometer, you will notice two scales. One in Miles per Hour (MPH) and the other in Kilometers per Hour (kpH). This is to assist you in determining if you are driving too fast for the posted speed limits. For example, in England a posted speed limit is 100, to drive at that speed, you cannot exceed 60MPH.
The speedometer on a vehicle indicates that vehicle's velocity (speed). It does not indicate the posted speed limits anywhere in the world.

Hi. The speed limit in America varies all over the place from 5 MPH to unlimited (I think) in one or two states. The same would apply to other countries.

Oh no. Not at all. It may be very similar to other countries. But there are other countries that differ. India for example, has some areas where there is no speed limit as well as other countries.
Also, Americans One-Dollar is equal to about 43 Rupees in India.
Happy Holidays.

The only thing is, once you're out of the US, most other countries use kilometers instead of miles, which is a different system of measurement, just like Fahrenheit vs Celsius for temperature.

Yes, 20mph is the same in the US as other countries. Maybe the LIMIT is different but the velocity is the same. They might also use different units such as kilometers per hour or stupid questions per minute.....

The only difference in speed is how it's measured.
Most other countries measure speed in kilometers.
