It's been a nice run since 1972.
Foreign aid forces the country to recognize the USD as their reserve currency:
We keep score in our own monopoly money once we went off of breighton woods. Playing Musical chairs >>> foreign aid is the music.

Watch what happens with the Paki's as we cut off their financial aid.
