Absolutely terrible comparison.

The Zimbabwean dollar is not the world's reserve currency. Zimbabwe cannot park a naval fleet off the coast of any country that tries to move away from the Zimbabwean dollar, or direct the worlds largest banks to freeze assets, or apply crushing economic sanctions.

The US is probably the only country in the world that can print money without runaway inflation, and I don't doubt that we will maintain dollar hegemony with force if needed.
