the Economic Recession made a lot of people jobless but at least there is some good progress on the economy this year. i just hope that the economy will continue to recover in the following months and years.

Nope, 17. See, there are smaller words in bold, too.

Panama has used the US dollar for longer! They sometimes call them 'Balboas' but they are US dollars. Does anybody know where to find a COMPREHENSIVE list?

Ecuador also uses the USD as their currency. Bring a roll of dollar coins… they love using them and it's handy for everything from tips to taxis.

Or, if you can put up with the plane tickets. Go to australia where the AU$1 = US$0.64.

Hey Matt, the CIA World Factbook lists the Cambodian riel as the official currency? And it's not traded at a fixed rate to the dollar. So the ATMs must be spitting out dollars at varying rates over time – still convenient though!!

You should add cambodia there. The US dollar is the official currency and ATMs give out dollars!
