Wouldn't it just be easier to find some small country's government to sanction it as legal tender of that country?

I was actually wondering the other day whether Apple does any kind of arbitrage behind the scenes of their international app store sales. Seems like they could be making a lot of extra money that way.
Maybe there's an opportunity for a startup here?

How should that arbitrage work? (As far as I know exploiting arbitrage on foreign exchange markets tends to need insane amounts of money.)
