Wow, my friend, I like the way you think, thanks so much for your input. I think these are all extremely solid points.

El Salvador comes to mind, but not their current monetary transition, rather the last one. Colon to Dollar. I'll definitely be doing some research on how that transition happened, the timescales, the violence related to it and as much info as possible since your last point is what peaked my interest here. I have more personal experience with the current situation in Venezuela which is going down the dollarization path now, and though it does involve a whole lot of economic uncertainty, instability and confusion, the amount of violence directly related to it is small. This of course is a rather poor comparison since Venezuela is not the global hegemon that the US is with their petro-dollar, which they have enforced violently in the past.

Amazing points all around man, top contender so far for the bounty
