I don't think Americans pay a whole lot of attention to where the goods they buy come from. They may grumble about Chinese-made goods, but will still buy them so long as the price is cheaper than something American-made.
Near the US-Canada border where they get a lot of Canadian business, stores will accept Canadian money, at the more or less appropriate exchange rate. Away from the border, Americans will look at you as if you are from Mars if you try to spend a Canadian dollar, a Euro or a pound. They just aren't at all familiar with exchanging money.
