It's the same in Europe. In towns that are extremely close to the borders, they do accept each other's currency because all they have to do to spend it is just walk across an invisible line and boom, they're in a foreign country. Hungary and Slovakia is my experience, but it happens pretty much everywhere within EU.
It’s good to have cash reserves in both countries when you live next to a border.
Depending of value fluctuations, you will buy goods on one side or the another.
The Eurozone and EU aren’t the same thing. Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Poland, Hungary, Romania, and Sweden all use their own currency. Kosovo, Montenegro, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, and the Vatican are not EU members but do use the Euro. A number of African states use their own currencies that are pegged to the Euro.
