At least in Australia and the UK, if someone seriously tries paying with US currency they'll be laughed at right out of the shop.

Or at least nicely told to go and exchange it for real money (local currency) somewhere, then come back and try again. :)

I didnt realize the UK and Australia were developing countries but I guess post Brexit changed things.

Good point. Australia isn't, but yeah Brexit has kind of set the direction for the UK. ;)
