In Ecuador they speak Spanish and their official currency is the U.S. Dollar.

Actually, their economy is based on the US Five Dollar Bill. If you try to use a twenty dollar bill to buy something they look at you like you are trying to pass a million dollar note at a Federal Reserve Bank.

Didn’t know about the money thing. Love learning things like this. Will investigate further. One of the countries I have always wanted to visit.
