If you are handing out USD, there won't be any inflation. And I don't think there is anywhere in the developing world that USD isn't seen as good as local currency (if not better in many countries)

How is the currency handed out gonna not cause inflation, no matter what it's denominated in?

If you give out hundred dollar bills, local prices will rise for goods, which is the definition of inflation.

What would prevent an influx of USD from causing (localized) inflation?
