I can't believe that anyone actually considers this news. I mean the Federal Reserve is considering its third prime rate cut in two months.
In addition, accepting foreign currency is not necessarily a low-water mark. My father was in London on business entertaining some gentlemen from all over the globe at a supposedly well-known restaurant known as Simpson's in the Strand. Well, they wouldn't accept his American Express (they charge merchants too much and take a long time to pay overseas,) so they ended up paying their check in American and Australian dollars, Swiss and French francs, Deutschmarks, lira, rubles, shekels, and a tiny bit of actual English currency.
BTW, for his efforts with exchange tables and a calculator, my father tipped the maitre d'hotel $100 US (about 75 pounds at the time.)

I can't stand nothing dull
I got the high gloss luster
I'll massacre your ass as fast
as Bull offed Custer
