They could. Ecuador does in fact mint its own US-dollar coins, and El Salvador could dedollarize.

- favorited 2y agoEcuador mints their own centavo coins, but they are not legal tender outside of Ecuador. They've never released their own $1 coin into general circulation – their ubiquitous Sacagawea dollars are minted in the US.
- kragen 2y agoSorry, I didn't mean to say they minted US$1 coins, just coins whose value is denominated in dollars. I think the biggest one is US$0.25? US dollars are also not legal tender outside the US, with a few exceptions (I think including both El Salvador and Ecuador.)
