Yes, there is a big list of countries which do just that.

Thanks for the link.

I went through the list, most of those countries are small countries who does not have a sound monetary system thus rely on a larger and more established foreign currency.

Unfortunately so far it works best for the drug dealer and money launderer, which is not going to help to increase the positive attitude from the government
