Yeah, you'd probably get hit by credibility issues there too. Although, it
could just result in people reverting more to plastic money (unless 5% o the economy's credit cards are stolen). And moving on to dollars in a country where a dollar isn't the mainstray currency wouldn't be of a great option either. First, you'd need to have the given dollar as an official currency, after that there'd be massive menu costs for enterprises, from shops up, to change their scheme from the original currency to dollars.
