This is a bit of american movie fiction, allot of American media is made for American audiences and they know how much $1million is but not €1million or ¥1million.
There are countries where people prefer to get dollars Yes, they are usually on the poorer side or heavy tourist locations.
But a lot of criminal enterprises prefer cash to be easy to launder/spend locally, it is sort of inconvenient to have to exchange your money before you can use it. It would be kind of obvious that you are criminal if you try and buy a house/car in dollars.
The backpack point is very odd no? Other countries have 100 bills and some have higher denominations.
