But but but… Dollar is the currency of the world, didn’t you know? /s
Liberia uses the US dollar equally alongside the Liberian dollar.
I used to live and work in SE Asia, having dollars while traveling could be used anywhere, more than the local currency, while not official you could easily colour in most of this map green, África as well.
Having Euros was pointless, everyone wanted USD
Terrible graphic with no real information.
What percent of corporate debt is done in USD?
What percent of global trade is done in USD?
The guilder used in the Dutch islands of St Maarten, Curacao and Aruba is pegged to the US dollar, in the rest of the Dutch Caribbean the US dollar is the official currency.
you forgot Argentina in light green! we get “pegged” by the US dollar day after day!
You can use the dollar almost everywhere in the world. The euro not so much.
the maps literally useless, the picture should instead be how many countries use the dollar and euro as a second currency, what percentage of global trade uses the euro and dollar and what percentage of banks use the dollar or euro. All this graph does is make the euro look bigger than what it is, the dollar exerts more than double the influence of the euro though
The number of pegged currencies is a minor indicator of how influential a currency is.
Sweden while not pegged to euro has a quite narrow range to fluctuate.
Wait does Montenegro and Kosovo just use the euro without asking
Edit: sorry Montenegro not Macedonia
The question is what the future holds for the Euro.
this map is not good
Cambodia is missed out for daily use of $. Actually the cambodian national currency Riel is used side-by-side with US-$.
This really doesn’t tell you anything about currency influence.
% of global transactions denominated in X currency & % of reserves in X currency is far more important.
i think this is inaccurate as many many african countries accept usd be it the legal currency or not
TIL the Cuban Peso is pegged to the Dollar.
Curious is Cuba also marked light green
Aren’t the central European countries’ currencies pegged to the Euro?

Lebanese pound is pegged to USD?
TIL moment
Doesn’t Andorra use the euro?
You missed out Guadeloupe and Martinique
uh this is wrong. A lot of countries unoficially use the $, Venezuela and Central American countries come to mind.
Because I have no idea, what are the other countries’ currencies pegged to?
The Euro is not even half as influencial as the mighty Dollar.
Looks like France is pulling its weight, as per usual.
that blue India at the top is bigger than the US, it must be more important
Lots of countries have black markets in dollars, Venezuela and Congo Republic to name a few.
The title and the picture don’t really go together. [Here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserve_currency#/media/File:Global_Reserve_Currencies.png) is one that goes along with the title (just looking at wikipedia i guess)
