<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1902770, member: 39&quot;]Don&#039;t think that the JFK half dollars are used much in Ecuador. The country has its own coins for denominations up to 50 cents - same sizes and other specifications as the corresponding US coins. But just like the US half, the 50 centavo coin is not exactly &quot;handy&quot;, and so neither the Ecuadorian nor the US version is used much.</p><p><br /></p><p>For anything above 50 centavos, they use US coins and bills. And that includes the $1 coins. As for how the cash gets there (apart from individuals bringing them in), I suppose that the Central Bank of Ecuador imports them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Moderate inflation is, by itself, nothing to be worried about. If other economic factors are primarily positive, it may even be helpful. But if the inflation rate is just one part of&nbsp; a worsening economic situation, you get into trouble. Besides, imagine ordering a cup of coffee at 5,000 CU (currency units), then ordering a second one, and at the end getting a 14,000 CU bill. Feeling cheated? Nah, hyperinflation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
