Yes, I tried to be careful in what I stated, but here's what I meant: "$" is the everyday currency symbol of far fewer people than "¥". "USD" is the everyday currency of only about as many people as "EUR"

Yeah well done, when I first looked at the list of countries I figured they might add up to ~1B, but they didn't even come close!
It's easy to forget just how much bigger China is.
US: 325,365,189
Canada: 35,151,728
Taiwan: 23,550,077
Australia: 24,688,400
Ecuador: 16,385,068
Hong Kong: 7,374,900
El salvador: 6,344,722
Singapore: 5,607,300
New Zealand: 4,826,660
Liberia: 4,503,000
Jamaica: 2,881,355
Namibia: 2,113,077
East Timor: 1,167,242
Belize: 387,879
Micronesia: 104,937
Marshal Islands: 53,066
Palau: 21,503
Caribbean Netherlands: 25,019
460,551,122 in total. Which is still less than 50% of China's 1.4B
