I was with you until the word "forced". Who forced anyone?

  Α 10000ft gorilla of a superpower, meddling in foreign countries, toppling governments, spying, downright invading to "bring democracy", blackmailing, buying foreign politicians and influence, maintaining bases all over the world, playing one neighbor country against another for support, forced them. It might not register that much on the giving end, but it's common knowledge on the receiving end...

    All those actions you list are sadly true, but they don't really force anyone to use a specific currency. Now if a country was invaded, its government replaced, and its currency literally replaced, then that would be forcing.
