<p>[QUOTE="Baanos, post: 1380873, member: 36414"]I've been to the Central bank of Ecuador yesterday. I had a 30 minute conversation with the security guard who kept going to the bank teller there to ask him for the information I was asking him about(wouldn't let me speak to him directly for some reason) and it would appear that they do not have specimen notes of any countries there because they do not change currency, they only have US dollars. He told me to go to banks downtown which I did today. Same story there, not a single of the 5 banks I've visited even admitted to having specimens. I do think however, the persons whom I spoke to did not know what an actual specimen is as I was referred to "papelarias" twice for specimens, some kind of stores who sell paper, pens and the such. I've even been to a major currency exchange place and 2 smaller places and I was told they don't have any. I'm going to need to make contacts it seems...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
