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

These aren’t rare or unseen. All legal US money
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.

United Statesians

You can just say American.

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.
It’s not about offence, it’s about how ridiculous it sounds.
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.

Mate, there is literally only one country with America in it’s name.

Furthermore in a 2 continent Americas model, so there is no other place American could refer to because the people from the continents are either North American or South American.

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.
Okay buddy.
You only have 5 accounts? Commoner. Anyway, thanks.
You are fuckin ridiculous, you silly United Statesian. This whole exchange is a great example of why most of the world laughs at you.
