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
These aren’t rare in the sense that everybody has one they keep as a collectible. I’d I went down to 7/11 and tried to buy something with it they’d give me a funny look.
no they wouldnt. its money. i work at a gas station we get these all the time
Transporter Room 3I have a friend who works at a bank, and when he was a teller there was a guy who would come in every friday and exchange 500 in dollar coins of varying types, the little brass colored ones here, the silver looking ones, and also 50 cent pieces.
They didn’t carry that much at any time because nobody really brings them in so they had to start special ordering them for this one guy. Every week.
No idea what he uses them for, but either he’s got a shitload of them, or he makes it hail at strip clubs.
Likely owns a vending machine business. They’re easier to return than a handful of quarters if someone uses a 5 dollar bill to buy something for a buck and change.
swab148I’d put money on it being one of those “Twice the Ice” vending machines, all of my dollar coins come from either that or the ticket thing at the train station.
