This reminds me of when I was a kid growing up (in developing nations), and people would show up from the US demanding all the same services that they had back home.
Depending on where they are and how much they want to pay, they can get it.
(Also US banks are about 15 years behind the rest of the world. I was in Korea 20 years ago and the farm stands in the countryside took electronic payments and I could spend dollars.)
It’s cute you think you’d still have access to dollars in this scenario
It’s cute that you assume I wouldn’t. OP never said anything about that.
You had a bit of access issue tho.
Like… do you have it as cash on you at all times?
Your, now-former, country’s border agents could just seize it as you’re exiting.
If its in a bank, they have an even easier time seizing it.
You should have said that. If I can’t access banks, it’s a way different picture.
