Lol almost no one in South America is laughing at USD. I've been to 3 of the 4 continents you mention and spent USD directly in all of them but Europe. Hello in many south america countries you get better prices even adjusted for true exchange rate because no one wants dog-shit <national currency> and it saves them a trip to the money-trader before their money turns into kindling.

You can also spend them in several places in Europe with ease, albeit at an exchange rate that means you should not.
