The Galápagos Islands have no monetary authority and do not issue currency — Ecuador abolished the sucre in 2000 when it dollarized its economy, and the islands use the U.S. dollar in daily commerce. A "500 Sucres" note dated 2025 and attributed to a Galápagos issuer is a fantasy piece with no governmental backing, no legal tender status anywhere, and no place in a serious currency inventory.
Collector novelty items of this type are sometimes marketed as "souvenir banknotes." That is the accurate description here.
