A LETTER FROM THE CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus Worldwide Dollar Money Market Fund, Inc., covering the six-month period from November 1, 2008, through April 30, 2009.

While investors’ assets have continued to flow into the money markets in record amounts in 2008 and so far still in 2009, yields consequently fell as the market digested increased supply-and-demand dynamics along with historically low short-term interest rates. The Federal Reserve Board’s target of 0% to 0.25% for the overnight federal funds rate has served as an anchor for short-term money market yields in an economy that has struggled with a 6.3% annualized contraction over the fourth quarter of 2008 and a 5.7% economic contraction during the first quarter of 2009.

We generally have remained cautious in the absence of real economic progress, but the equity market’s gyrations and the results of the recent bank stress tests have illustrated the importance of a long-term investment focus, and the extreme importance of having ample liquidity factored into your investment objectives. That’s why we continue to encourage you to speak regularly with your financial consultant, to discuss with you the potential benefits of an investment strategy that complements your current liquidity needs and long-term investment goals.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as market perspectives, we have provided a Discussion of Fund Performance given by the fund’s Portfolio Manager.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of November 1, 2008, through April 30, 2009, as provided by Patricia A. Larkin, Senior Portfolio Manager

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2009, Dreyfus Worldwide Dollar Money Market Fund produced an annualized yield of 0.79%. Taking into account the effects of compounding, the fund also produced an annualized effective yield of 0.79%.1

Money market yields declined along with short-term interest rates as the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) reduced its target for the overnight federal funds rate to 0%-0.25% in its attempts to stimulate economic growth and stabilize the banking system.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.

To pursue this goal, the fund invests in a diversified portfolio of high-quality, short-term debt securities, including: securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities; certificates of deposit, time deposits, bankers’ acceptances and other short-term securities issued by domestic and foreign banks or their subsidiaries or branches; repurchase agreements; asset-backed securities; domestic and dollar-denominated foreign commercial paper; and other short-term corporate obligations, including those with floating or variable rates of interest; and dollar-denominated obligations issued or guaranteed by one or more foreign governments or any of their political subdivisions or agencies. Normally, the fund invests at least 25% of its net assets in domestic or dollar-denominated foreign bank obligations.

Financial Crisis and Recession Roiled Credit Markets

The reporting period began in the midst of the most severe recession since the 1930s, which had been exacerbated in September by a global banking crisis. Just weeks before the start of the reporting period, major financial institutions found themselves unable to obtain short-term fund-

The Fund 3


DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

ing due to massive losses among mortgage- and asset-backed securities. In the ensuing tumult, the U.S. government effectively nationalized Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and insurer AIG; Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy; and other major firms were sold to former rivals. Congress passed the $700 billion Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) in an attempt to shore up the nation’s banking system, and the Fed pumped liquidity into the banking system.

Money market funds were not immune to the financial crisis. The Lehman Brothers bankruptcy led to challenging liquidity conditions in the commercial paper market, and the fund’s exposure to Lehman Brothers notes threatened to force its net asset value below $1 per share. However,The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation entered into an agreement with the fund to support the value of its Lehman holdings, enabling it to maintain a steady share price.To forestall an unmanageable surge in withdrawals, the U.S. government adopted the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds and other measures, and the commercial paper market subsequently stabilized. On March 31, the U.S. government announced a further extension of the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds until September 18, 2009.

Interest Rates Cut to Unprecedented Low Levels

As the reporting period began, job losses continued to mount, and consumer confidence plunged. In late November, The National Bureau of Economic Research officially declared that the U.S. economy has been in a recession since late 2007.The Fed implemented an additional rate cut in December, and the target for the federal funds rate ended 2008 between 0% and 0.25%, a record low. It later was announced that U.S. GDP contracted by 6.3% in the fourth quarter.

Disappointing economic news continued to undermine investor sentiment in January 2009, as the median sales price of single-family homes continued to fall sharply. The U.S. economy lost more than 650,000 jobs per month in February and March, driving the unemployment rate to a 25-year high. Meanwhile, the Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index reached the lowest level since its inception in 1967. In its ongoing efforts to stimulate the economy, the U.S. government enacted the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to

retain and create jobs, provide budget relief to states and localities, maintain and expand social programs and offer short-term tax relief to businesses and individuals.

After hitting a multi-year low on March 9, the U.S. stock market staged an impressive rebound through the reporting period’s end.The market was buoyed by early signs that the economic downturn may be decelerating, including a lower-than-expected number of jobless claims in April and modest rebounds in some of the more beaten-down regional housing markets. In addition, a decline in the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) below 1% provided evidence of improvement in the global credit markets. However, home prices nationally at the end of the first quarter were 13.8% lower than one year earlier, the largest quarterly slump on record, and the unemployment rate climbed to 8.9% in April. The first quarter of 2009 ended with a –5.7% annualized GDP growth rate.

Maintaining a Focus on Quality

In the wake of September’s dramatic developments and due to highly challenging liquidity conditions in the commercial paper market, we focused on money market instruments with overnight maturities early in the reporting period.As credit conditions stabilized, we maintained the fund’s weighted average maturity in a range that was roughly in line with industry averages.

Despite recent signs of potential economic improvement, we remain concerned regarding liquidity conditions and tighter loan standards. Therefore, we currently intend to maintain the fund’s conservative credit posture and focus on liquidity.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.Yields fluctuate.Yields provided reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to an undertaking in effect that may be extended, terminated or modified at any time. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s annualized yield and annualized effective yield would have been 0.74% and 0.74%, respectively.

COMPARING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited)

Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds.All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment 
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended April 30, 2009 
 
Expenses paid per $1,000  $ 4.11 
Ending value (after expenses)  $1,020.73 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .82%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

It is the fund’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so.There is no assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00.

The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at amortized cost (other than those securities covered by a Capital Support Agreement, as described in Note 1(e) below, which are carried at market value based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Directors) in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the Act, which has been determined by the Board of Directors to represent the fair value of the fund’s investments.

14


The fund adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “FairValue Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to FAS 157.These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2009 in valuing the fund’s investments:

  Investments in 
Valuation Inputs  Securities ($) 
Level 1—Quoted Prices   
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs  678,443,965 
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs   
Total  678,443,965 

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4,“Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not

The Fund 15


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

Orderly” (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 will have on the fund’s financial statement disclosures.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Cost of investments represents amortized cost.

The fund has arrangements with the custodian and cash management bank whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody and cash management fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements and the accompanying notes has not yet been determined.

The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the Manager, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase and the fund’s agreement to resell such

16


securities at a mutually agreed upon price. Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are deposited with the fund’s custodian and, pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the fund will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the fund maintains the right to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended April 30, 2009, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions.The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the three-year period ended October 31, 2008 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

The Fund 17


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 was all ordinary income. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

At April 30, 2009, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $681,597,320; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized depreciation on investments was $3,153,355, consisting of $13,946,645 gross unrealized appreciation and $17,100,000 gross unrealized depreciation.

(e) Capital Support Agreement: The fund holds notes (the “Notes”) issued by Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“Lehman”). In order to mitigate the negative impact of holding these securities in light of the bankruptcy of Lehman, on September 16, 2008, the fund entered into a Capital Support Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BNY Mellon, the parent company of the fund’s adviser. Pursuant to the Agreement, BNY Mellon has agreed to provide capital support to the fund, subject to an aggregate limit of $20 million (the “Maximum Capital Support Payment”), if any of the following events result in the fund’s net asset value falling below $0.9950:

(i)      Any final sale or other final liquidation of the Notes by the fund for cash in an amount, after deduction of costs, which is less than the amortized cost value of the Notes as of the date such sale or liquidation is consummated;
(ii)      Receipt by the fund of final payment on the Notes in cash in an amount less than the amortized cost value of the Notes less costs in respect thereof, as of the date such final payment is received; and
(iii)      The date upon which a court of competent jurisdiction over the matter discharges Lehman from liability in respect of the Notes, and such discharge results in the receipt of aggregate payments on the Notes in an amount less than the amortized cost value of the Notes, less costs in respect thereof, as of the date such final payment is received.

18


The obligations of BNY Mellon to provide capital support shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the repayment in full of the Notes, (ii) BNY Mellon making payments equal to the Maximum Capital Support Payment, (iii) the date on which the fund no longer holds any Notes, (iv) the mutual agreement of the fund and BNY Mellon to terminate the Agreement and (v) 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date which is 364 days from the date of the Agreement unless BNY Mellon elects in writing to extend the term of the Agreement.

(f) Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program: The fund has entered into a Guarantee Agreement with the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) to participate in the Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”).

Under the Program, the Treasury guarantees the share price of shares of the fund held by shareholders as of September 19, 2008 at $1.00 per share if the fund’s net asset value per share falls below $0.995 (a “Guarantee Event”) and the fund liquidates. Recovery under the Program is subject to certain conditions and limitations.

Fund shares acquired by investors after September 19, 2008 that increase the number of fund shares the investor held at the close of business on September 19, 2008 are not eligible for protection under the Program. In addition, fund shares acquired by investors who did not hold fund shares at the close of business on September 19, 2008 are not eligible for protection under the Program.

The Program, which was originally set to expire on December 18, 2008, was extended by the Treasury until April 30, 2009 and has been extended by the Treasury until September 18, 2009, after which the Secretary of the Treasury will review the need for, and terms of, the Program. Participation in the initial term and the extended periods of the Program required a payment to the Treasury in the amount of .015% .022% and .023%, respectively, of the fund’s shares outstanding

The reduction in management fee, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $150,114 during the period ended April 30, 2009.

(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund reimburses the Distributor an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets for certain allocated expenses of providing personal services and/or maintaining shareholder accounts.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.
