Why not? I don't know macro-economics that well, but isn't money a more or less closed circuit? I want milk so I give dollars to the grocery store owner who gives it to the employees and suppliers who then want a haircut from my barber. The currency is just an easy way of trading, but I could get milk directly for a haircut if we both agreed.
The issue of banking is a problem. If there is no service to store dollars in Argentina (due to laws, for example) then I could at least rent a secure box for my dollars. It will a least protect against inflation.

In rare cases, an expat can get paid in another currency in some countries via a swiss bank account or something, but it is extremely rare, and the laws are really narrow in most places on what you can be paid in. > then I could at least rent a secure box for my dollars. It will a least protect against inflation. Many people do that. And it isn't simple to set up, and it definitely isn't legal. If you don't mind taking the risk of going to jail, or rule of law isn't really a thing, then no problem.
