They knew they'd become a kind of third world joke if they tried. They already got laughed at hard enough when they tried to "force" airlines into using Quebec French when landing in Quebec airports.
And they wouldn't have used the American dollar, because of the long-standing, back-end fear of Manifest Destiny, and the idea that the Americans would take control and make 'em speak English. Seriously. Separatists' mindset is very ... Greatest Generation-era or older.

When I talk about the US dollar, I'm referring to American secessionists theoretically using it, not Quebecois.
