2000 Ecuador 10 Centavos

Not the first time I found this coin and there seems to be only one type with one year. Ecuador made U.S. currency legal so they have two currencies in circulation. This makes coin production a low priority.

As far as I can tell they only made one diez (10) centavos coin and it was dated 2000. They put Eugenio Espejo or Eugene Mirror if you like translating names. He was a scientist and writer and helped usher Ecuador into a more modern world.

Here are the stats for these...
Type/Country: 10 Cents / Ecuador
Year: 2000
Mintage: Not yet known
Metal: Steel
Value: $0.10 in VF

Update: eddypc07 gave me this great incite into the Ecuadorian currency system...
"Just to clear things, they don't use 2 currencies. The only currency is the US dollar. It's just at first they made their own version of the coins because transporting american dollar coins is expensive and takes time."

Do you have a Ecuadorian coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

Thanks I will update the info. Not knowing anyone one from Ecuador made these unclear.
