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

    I have a lot of those “gold” dollar coins. For a long time after they came out, I’d ask the cashiers at stores and banks to trade me paper dollars for whatever gold coins they had available. Many times I had to dig into my stash to get by, so it’s not like I’m sitting on a massive horde of them or anything, but I have about a hundred of them.
