Even places like H.K. where the HKD has been tightly pegged to the USD for around 2 decades, the USD isn't accepted at the exchange rate.

One place where the USD was accepted at par was Argentina when the currency ('90s Peso) was pegged at parity to the USD, and it was also accepted during the inflationary Real era before that.
