Some currencies, such as the US dollar and the euro, are used as legal tender in countries that do not issue their own currency or have found the stable dollar preferable to their own currency. For example, Ecuador adopted the U.S. dollar as its legal tender in 2000 after Ecuador`s currency, sugar, rapidly devalued, making $1 worth $25,000. The adoption of the U.S. dollar as the primary legal tender is colloquially referred to as “dollarization,” although the practice is commonly referred to as currency substitution.
