Why do people in poor countries ussually accept US dollars in payment?

Hi, Complex question with recent changes, but here is "the simple" answer. The US Dollar, has been the currency of choice around the world for many years.

How is the value of SDR determined?

The value of the Special Drawing Right (SDR) is determined based on a basket of five major currencies: the US dollar, euro, Chinese yuan, Japanese yen, and British pound.

It serves as an international reserve asset and a unit of account for the IMF and its member countries.
