US money is good everywhere. Nearly every country will take it either directly or exchange it to local currency. No other currency in the world comes close to the versatility of the US dollar. It doesn't matter where they buy something from... they all want US dollars as evidenced by the rising exchange rates.
You should really travel abroad, maybe to Russia which you're so fond of. Even Russians love US dollar, especially the benjamin variety.
All you are doing is confirming the point I made. Whether US money is spent in the US or elsewhere,
You said "US money is really only good in the US. ."
Suchmoon said "US money is good everywhere."
That's the opposite of confirming the point you made.
Is that confusing for you?
In order to use US money in countries other than the US, banks in these countries need to have banking agreements with the US Federal Reserve Bank. What these bank agreements do is convert a part of the foreign bank into the US banking system. US money is essentially only good in the US.
This is the way the US is conquering the world... using the greed and stupidity of other countries against them.
It's the same in the US regarding the individual States in the US. If they don't follow US guidelines - although they are free to NOT follow US guidelines - they won't get US money in areas that they want.
Why do you have such a hard time understanding that the Banking system is conquering the world, and that it is the US banking system doing this?
Seems like you forgot your initial point. You said: "Essentially, US money is really only good in the US. Oh, sure, some countries play around with the USDollar. But most of it goes to buying something from the US."
You're wrong.
