I hope this doesn't surprise anyone. When you have the majority of a product going to one country, how is it that you would not also have the highest traces of a product on an object used during its use?

Did someone pay for this research? :o Crap! Seems I'm in the wrong business! Need to get into the research biz! :yep:

Our money may be ending up in Ecuador

"On January 9, 2000, the administration of President Jamil Mahuad announced its intention to adopt the U.S. dollar as the official currency of Ecuador to address the ongoing economic crisis. The formal adoption of the dollar as currency on September 10, 2000, as opposed to merely pegging the Sucre to the dollar as Argentina had done, theoretically meant that the benefits of seigniorage would accrue to the U.S. economy."

First time I ever heard of a sovereign country ditching its own currency and using the currency of another country.
