You'll see the same thing in Europe. If you attempt to spend euros at a small town in Wales, they'll likely be accepted. Swiss francs? Probably not.
Why? Because the euro is another world currency.
Whoa, the greenback may be a world currency in the US but its acceptance in Canada had been due to the fact that it was worth relatively more at one time so folks could make a profit. Try to pay with Euros in NY, even though they are worth more. They are regarded as another unacceptable currency because they aren't green. If God meant currency to be colors other than green, she would have made real money in those colors.
