    This sounds like setting up a whole load of infrastructure is really expensive and more work than they really should be going through. They need to stabalise their existing economies not throw them in a blender for a couple of years

      Don’t worry! Russia will gladly give a hand. Let’s name the new currency the West African Rubble!

      These are the leaders that took over their countries with a military coup, now Limited by the amount of financial fuckery they can do because their currencies are maintained by the French central bank.

      This has nothing to do with freedom, or economy but with military dictators wanting more freedom to loot the coffers. So the consequences to the country are irrelevant.
