Caribbean Netherlands will switch its currency to US$, and St. Maarten
will have its own currency, which is a must for a territory of 34 Km2
and under 40,000 inhabitants.

A must? Ecuador, which is much bigger, has used the US dollar as its
official currency since 2000.

Panama also accepts dollars readily, although the official currency is
the balboa.

Tips in dollars were readily accepted in China on our recent trip there.

Actually Victor, they would all prefer to receive the much more stable
Euro$.
(previously known as camel chips) but these are such a rare and
valued
commodity, that nobody will spend any once they have them. 8*)
