JimVanDeventerTIL 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.

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.
delirious_owlStrong agree. For some reason theres a lot of weird US Americans want to claim the word America for their country only. Its silly, ignorant, and rude.
The ship has sailed. The word already refers to the US
In English, not in general. The continent is called America in lots of languages, but the country is most often referred to as the USA. Because that’s the title the country has chosen for itself.
Yes, we agree that:
- The continent is called America
- The country is called the USA
What I’m stating is that:
- The adjective for a USA citizen is “American”
- It is not USAsian or whatever got said above
