Well the USD is accepted *everywhere* in the Americas, and most places in Europe.

"However the EU has almost 500 million citizens while the US has only 300 million.You have to compare the numbers per capita. The average EU GDP - per capita (PPP) is $28100 and the US $41600 "Doesn't it make it even more shameful to have no social security "because it's too expensive" ?

I hate to be in topic but I have _never_ seen the Serbian Dinar circulating "alongside" the Euro in Kosovo. I imagine the author was alluding to the Serbian enclaves, where people still act like they're part of Serbia. It's sad, but Kosovo couldn't be much more segregated and the currency reflects that.Bosnia is the most interesting country, because it's the only place in the world that still basically uses the Deutschmark (well, really, the Euro is just the Deutschmark but shhhhh! we're pretending for the French that it's not). Like Montenegro Bosnia switched currencies in the Nineties, only they switched to the "Konvertible Mark", a 1:1 pegged Deutschmark.
