You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

A '''de facto currency''' is a unit of money that is not [[legal tender]] in a country but is treated as such by most of the populace. The [[United States dollar]] and the [[European Union]] [[euro]] are the most common de facto currencies.

== Euro ==

[[Andorran euro coins|Andorra]] used the euro unofficially prior to June 2013, at which point the euro became its official currency.  The euro remains the de facto currency in [[Kosovo and the euro|Kosovo]] and [[Montenegro and the euro|Montenegro]].

== United States dollar ==
((main|International use of the U.S. dollar))
Countries using the United States dollar as their de facto currency include [[Aruba]] and [[Cambodia]], where most hotels, restaurants, and transportation are priced in dollars;<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.canbypublications.com/cambodia/money.htm|title=Cambodia &#124; Money and Banks|website=www.canbypublications.com))</ref>
[[Dominican Republic]] where it is acceptable in many places, including airports to pay temporary visa fees for non-US/Dominican visits; [[Iraq]], where United States commercial, governmental and military involvement due to the [[Iraq War]] and the [[Iraqi Dinar]]'s low value has made the US dollar highly preferred;((Citation needed|date=July 2010)) [[Timor-Leste]], [[Lebanon]],((Citation needed|date=July 2010)) [[El Salvador]], [[Ecuador]] and [[Panama]];((Citation needed|date=July 2010)) [[Venezuela]] where they accept the USD for practically everything as a substitute for the highly inflated Venezuelan bolívar.

== Russian ruble ==
The disputed territories of [[Abkhazia]] and [[South Ossetia]] and [[Crimea]] have the [[Russian ruble]] as their de facto currency.

== South African rand and Botswana pula ==
Due to [[hyperinflation in Zimbabwe]] in 2006 to 2008, the government of Zimbabwe has allowed circulation of foreign currency since September 2008 and local currency became obsolete since 12 April 2009. Both [[South African rand]] and [[Botswana pula]] circulate in Zimbabwe.

== Canadian dollar ==
The small [[France|French]] island of [[St. Pierre and Miquelon]] has the [[Canadian dollar]] as its de facto currency.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://st-pierre-et-miquelon.com/en/faq/ |title=FAQ – St-Pierre and Miquelon |access-date=2016-04-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160421191317/http://st-pierre-et-miquelon.com/en/faq/ |archive-date=2016-04-21 |url-status=dead ))</ref>

== Hong Kong Dollar ==
The Hong Kong Dollar is widely accepted in Macau, even though it has not gained official recognition from Autoridade Monetária de Macau (AMCM) as legal tender in Macau. The Macauese Pacata is pegged to the Hong Kong Dollar at 1.029(buy)/1.032(sell). However, many merchants who accept Hong Kong Dollars may offer to pay the difference between two currencies, such practice is often called '不補水' in Chinese. If merchandise priced in Patacas is paid for in Hong Kong Dollars, and if merchants practice '不補水', prices in Patacas may be rounded up to the equivalent in Hong Kong Dollars, and merchants would offer change in Hong Kong dollars or the amount of Hong Kong Dollars paid would be automatically converted into Patacas and merchants would then offer change in Patacas.
