    They used to use the Sucre. When it crashed a lot of people lost a lot of money. I wish I knew more about that, and why they decided to bend over and use the world’s biggest terrorist organization’s currency.

      Argentina is toying with the idea of doing the same thing. tl;dr - Decades of out of control inflation. Currently the worst inflation in the world. The belief is that pinning their economy to the USD would stop that

          It’s not like Wikipedia has an accesible version of all human knowledge.
