"Money trades hands all over the world"? I haven't handled a physical piece of American currency (apart from the occasional coin that gets mixed into my change) in years. Sure, go ahead and do this, but don't assume that anyone outside your borders give a shit what you write on your bills.
Also, maybe don't make "show the rest of the world that we hate Trump" the primary goal of your resistance movement. Ugh.
Fun fact: US $100 bills are used in crime around the world because it's a strong currency and a million dollars fits in a backpack!
The second reason is bogus, the euro is valued as high or higher and we have 500€ bills.
I guess the Swiss Franc is not common enough. Other than that it would give some nice density benefit. 800 pieces of 1000 CHF would make 1M USD.
Source? That seems like it'd be more of a pain since you'd then have to convert it to your own currency which would be another chance at getting caught doing whatever you're doing
Well, if you don't see it then the same has to be true for billions of other people.
The above comment definetly was a bit anectodal, but there really aren't that many countries that use the USD. Its pretty much only the US, its territories and a few smaller south american countries. Canada and mexico maybe accept payments in dollar but don't officially use it.
Apart from that the USD is sometimes used in international trade, but that's more for currency conversion and not as physical money.
The only people that use physical USD outside of the US are American tourists with their america first worldview and mexican cartels.
It's called USD for a reason
Are you seriously implying billions of people are handling USD regularly? You realise other countries and currencies exist, right?
No.
Yes.
I strongly encourage you to consider using a bit more cash.
Local businesses pay increasing amounts of highway robbery to visa and other payment processing providers (who are very busy on their puritan agenda). Some places near me even offer discounts for cash transactions. Terms of service forbid it, but hey, I’m not going to state it in court.
Obviously we all use cards for a lot of things, just suggesting you draw it back.
Do you know that each country has their own currency and even in physical form?
Whoops. I guess the one word I missed in that post was the word “American”. My mistake. Still useful advice to someone, but I guess not here.
I haven't touched my own countries physical analogue money in years, 😂 not one here really uses it much anymore
It's not about anyone else caring.
It's about Trump caring.
