I'm travelling to Ecuador and Peru in February and since my Canadian money is weak I am wondering if instead of exchanging my money into USD I could bring rolls of Canadian quarters instead. Would store owners, bus drivers and taxi drivers accept this instead of American dollar bills?
I wouldn't think so.
Also, how much weight in coins would you carry to pay for your trip? Excess baggage fees might eat up whatever exchange rate benefit you are after.

Very true, I hadn't considered that
This thread. Top kek.
I was just in Ecuador in August. You need american currency. Everything is pretty cheap though so even after CAD to USD it won't be that bad. I went for two weeks, traveled around the whole country(not Galapagos) for about $1000 Canadian. Granted the dollar was stronger a few months back.

What did you spend all that money on? A grand seems a bit much for two weeks
