Forget Russia, China, Iran and other countries dumping dollars, wanting oil paid for in Euros, that sort of thing.
Even shops in the freaking Maldives are refusing to take dollars now.
This is yet another time in my life where I'm glad that I've always learned to live well on a small amount of money--especially as I'm watching that amount get smaller every year even when the amount I'm being paid goes up. :O
