Zimbabwe
In response to the uncontrollable inflation brought about by disastrous economic policies and international sanctions, Zimbabwe was forced to adopt the US dollar in place of the Zimbabwean currency which had been rendered worthless. The government in 2009 allowed Zimbabweans to use the dollar to conduct business activities alongside other major currencies like the Euro and the South African Rand. With the economy showing signs of recovery, there is no sign of the government lifting the suspension on the use of the local currency. Costa Rica
The country has no economic crisis to warrant the use of the dollar, but it allows the use of the dollar alongside the national currency called the Colones. Tourists visiting the country are encouraged to bring along the American dollars but in smaller denominations which are in good condition. The government doesn’t restrict their use since it allows traders to bill their goods using the local currency and their equivalent in dollars. Iraq
The Iraqi currency is called the Iraqi dinar. US dollars were used in the aftermath of the 2003 US-led invasion where the economy collapsed. The Coalition Provisional Authority used US dollars to pay Iraqi security officers and their army before the Iraqi dinar was reintroduced after the CPA handed over to an Iraqi government. The dollars are still in use alongside the dinar in business transactions.
