Thanks so much. That means 5910 Mln USD (5.9 billion US$) = 591억 달러의 is WRONG and 미화 59억 달러 is CORRECT ?
If it is 5.9 billion USD, we say 미화 59억 달러 but
if it is 5.91 billion USD, we say 미화 59억 1천 달러.
The number '1' can be often omitted so we also say 미화 59억 천 달러.

I made a mistake! It should be 미화 59억 천만 달러, not 59억 천 달러. YH Kim corrected me.

3.6 billion usd --> 미화 36억 달러, 26 billion usd--> 미화 2백 6십억 달러


Explanation:
3.6 billion USD -> 미화 36억 달러 OR 미화 36억 불
26 billion USD -> 미화 2백 6십억 달러 OR 미화 2백 6십억 불
97 million people -> 9천 7백만 명
"미화" means "US currency" and "달러" or "불" means "dollar"
So, US$ or USD should be translated into "미화 ㅇㅇㅇ 달러" or "미화 ㅇㅇㅇ 불"
