    Don’t some Central American countries like to use US dollars in cash, often preferred rather than their own currency? Mainly due to tourism but also probably some shadier stuff.

      No they don’t like to use other currencies.

      They might accept it, but they will never like it. Since they will have to convert it before it becomes actually useful.
