I think GOTO Masanori was only requesting a change for the sr_YU
locale - if this is undebated (now), I think it should be implemented.

The CIA World Fact Book 2001 reports USD as the currency of Ecuador,
with a Note:

# on 7 January 2000, the government passed a decree "dollarizing" the
# economy; on 13 March 2000, the National Congress approved a new
# exchange system whereby the US dollar is adopted as the main legal
# tender in Ecuador for all purposes; on 20 March 2000, the Central
# Bank of Ecuador started to exchange sucres for US dollars at a fixed
# rate of 25,000 sucres per US dollar; since 30 April 2000, all
# transactions are denominated in US dollars

So if you have still sucres, there are not worth anything anymore :-)
Also, if you have sucres in your database, it is your database which
is outdated, not the one in the standard.

Again according to the CIA World Fact Book, Sudan uses Sudanese Dinar
(SDD).

I don't know what the M in YUM stands for, but it might be
"Montenegro" - even though Montenegro also accepts the Euro as legal
tender.
