You may not be an expert in economics, but you're dead on the money !
We don't have the unfortunate experience of going to the airport or train station and attempt to exchange our currency for the destination's, only to discover "your money's no good here".
When the dictator ships in boats loads of freshly printed 5 million notes -- coincidentally with the national military's payday -- and not a soul at the local market or store will accept that currency as payment, things get sticky.
Most were carrying grenades and weapons back in 91 and most didn't make it out of the market that day.
BTW, Happy New Year to you and yours !
Regards, Stan
