$10,000 cash limit

13 years ago
I have seen several of you post about bringing $10,000 in cash with you when coming into Ecuador from the USA, which is the maximum amount allowed. As most of you probably know, the USA currently mints a $50 gold coin which is actually valued around $1585 (USD) at present. Anyone know of any problem bringing in...say...twenty such coins on your person...other than the obvious security risk. Afterall, twenty such coins is only $1000, considerably below the $10,000 limit, regardless of its actual value. Also, if someone were to do this, is there a place in Ecuador that will buy gold at the market value.
