Legal tender basically means it can be used to oay taxes or private debt, like in a court of law. It doesnt mean other moneys not designated as legal tender are illegal to use. El Salvador is a little fuzzy because it is legally forced tender, but with ways out of accepting (not having tech) or being able to instantly transfer to dollars. But in theory i dont like the idea of forcing anything on anyone

forced is never good but..

the money mostly transacted in , within a jurisdiction, is fairly necessary in terms of trade, no?

Otherwise ppl are trying to calculate foreign exchange whenever they buy a bag of chips 🤷‍♀️

Yes its very convenient lets say, but not forced as in illegal to not accept.
