US notes are the closest thing to a world currency and thus spread
throughout the world. Recalling or demonetizing them would have
repurcussions throughout the world. But probably the main reason
they're not doing that is that there is no good reason to do so.

Interestingly, almost all US - issued currency (notes, at least) from the
last hundred or so years is still considered "legal tender" here in the
States....
