  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

Actually this wouldn't work that well. In many countries that informally use the US dollar, they're very particular about keeping the bills in pristine condition.

They might not have a choice if that’s what tourists are paying in. Which is why I assume many countries that do use US dollars use it in the first place anyway because of tourism.

I can't afford to travel much but I thought it was pretty standard to have currency changing machines or stations in the airports?

It is but Americans are quite... insistent on using USD

It’s also that a lot of those countries prefer USD over their own currency. Let’s not just blame ignorant tourists, who are often encouraged not to exchange currency.
