I mean, yeah, I realise that but I wasn't going to write out that there are exceptions with some unstable countries using it. The OP writes as if the whole world like Canadians, Portuguese, French, Chinese, etc, etc, are using USD daily. I wouldn't point this out if I hadn't literally met Americans who were confused that the USD isn't the only currency in the world

Met more than one American in Brazil who was shocked that people there actually lived in Portuguese and didn't speak English at home.

I guess they thought all of bossa nova was some kind of tourist trap thing?

Yeah American ignorance is something else. Here in Canada, we often do take USD but at an equal exchange rate which means the Americans are just screwing themselves out of more money. I guess it could be considered a currency conversion fee ¯\(ツ)

I was at the Whitecaps game and an American in the crowd actually yelled "our dollar is worth more!" to chirp the Caps.

I yelled back "not for long!"
