If they dump their currency and use USD, then as long as there arnough dollars around it solves inflation right? (Their economy is a blip to the Goliath that is USD)

But if that's the case, then their currency is useless as everyone knows if will have zero value at all in a few months/years.

It does mean they can't print money to get out of trouble though.... Not that that was going well for them before.
