Keep your mind! ✌️

There are some big differences. Glad to discuss, unless this is tongue-in-cheek.

One of the two has aircraft carriers, the other only toy planes.

yes.

see Lybia

see all the countries in central America who use the USD after decades of "civil unrest".

see The Economic Hitman

So the US forces these countries to use their currency under gunpoint

No, they use their aircraft to suppress countries and leaders like Saddam Hussein or Muammar Gaddafi. For ordinary people, it's enough to put you in jail if you don't pay your taxes.

The monopoly money is part of a game I actually enjoy at least.

They're only valid in their perspective to games.

Regardless, we buy pieces of paper with words and numbers on them, with our time.
