winterfell Valued Member United States 231 Posts	Posted 02/26/2022 11:32 am I took a family trip to El Salvador a few months ago. El Salvador uses USD, it doesn't have its own currency, and dollar coins, not dollar bills, are what are commonly used there. It was very nice to see them in regular use, and I brought these two back as souvenirs since I rarely see small dollars so heavily circulated here in the states. Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1484 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 07:16 am Same thing in Ecuador, which indexed to the U.S. dollar some time ago. U.S. dollar coins are well liked and circulate heavily. They still have their own fractional coins, though. Report this Post to the Staff
