TIL Ecuador doesn't have its own currency and uses US dollars, but maybe not the same US dollars you are used to seeing.

  • That has negatively built in and I truly didn’t want to offend. But! Given some of these comments, maybe “snowflakes” is the neutral term I should use.

  • Nah, I’m an ass. But this is so interesting. Thank you for sharing.

  • You only have 5 accounts? Commoner. Anyway, thanks.

    Edit: Oh, 10 accounts now. Keep downvoting as if anyone cares. Surely you are popular and respected in real life. You know; that thing.

  • I am finding this all very interesting. Apparently people from the US are not surprised by this at all and my foreignness is on full display.

  • My friend, I used words with no intention to offend nor dive into pedantry. I am sorry you find it worth going on about. “America”. There, take it. Please have a good rest of your day, friend.

  • My friend, I am open to suggestions. “American” with like 100-ish countries in it doesn’t really narrow it down for me. Peace and love and all that stuff.

  • I am really appreciating how kind people are here. This really isn’t Reddit. I haven’t just been told I am wrong; I have been given anecdotal stories. So I was wrong, and I learned, and this is fun.

  • No offense intended. I have been to a lot of countries in the Americas and the US (despite being rather big) is not really a place I go to. So when I specify like that, it is from my own experience (and—you know—actual geography and stuff) and I am a little bit sorry to have apparently offended.

    Edit: that sounded sarcastic because it was a bit, but really, I didn’t intend to offend. Sorry, let’s be friends.

  • It’s so cool to me. I wonder if I am the only one not from US who finds this a bit mind blowing. What other secrets are you keeping?

  • I have these supposed $6 left over. If they turn out to be fake, I will shed a tear and move on. But thank you.

  • Thank you; I didn’t know that. You do have a rather big country and I still sort of wonder if it is universally recognized. Again, just going by never having seen them in movies. Maybe United Statesians aren’t just fictional characters in movies. We’ll never know.

  • Would these be accepted in the US? Like maybe a gas station attendant would think these are fake but also maybe a bank would take them? Never going to have a chance to test that out; just curious-ish.

  • I don’t live in the US. I have only ever seen the dollar bills in movies. Maybe these coins are actually normal to y’all but I found it fascinating.
