I think what you'll find is that the US $ keeps the world economy aflot. If the US $ would cease to exist, OPEC would shift trading to Euro, and then the Euro would become the world economy.

Saddam switched trading of Saddam Oil? to Euro after the 91 Kuqait shenanigans. That pissed the US off, and with good reason.

Oil lubricates the world's cogs. Not the US.
