Not Mint to Be Valued Member United States 469 Posts	Posted 03/26/2013 4:23 pm I seems that I read several years ago that Sac Dollars circulated well in Ecuador. Does anyone know of this article or is it an old wives tale? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/26/2013 4:52 pm Yes, Ecuador does use the Sac dollar coins and the US Dollar is their primary currency. Apparently one of the reasons why the coin is so well-liked down there is that Sacagawea, being Native American, is a more culturally familiar face than a dead white dude of European origin.

carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 6:15 pm During the 80s, the Gov used Susan B. Anthony dollars in the Base exchanges and Clubs in Germany. I know some of those made it into the local economy. Most were purged or sent back to the GIs in the US occupied Kascerns. Report this Post to the Staff
