But wait. US retail shops are not forced to accept USD.
They can, if they choose, accept payment only in smiles. Or CAD, or good vibes.
(Taxes, however, must be paid in USD).
In practice, US retail wants USD, for obvious reasons. There are no viable widespread alternatives (but there are countless insignificant local currencies!).
