USA Currency

The currency of the USA is the US Dollar ($).

Notes (known as bills) come in $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100, while coins come in 1¢ (pennies), 5¢ (nickels), 10¢ (dimes), 25¢ (quarters), 50¢ (half dollars), and $1 (silver dollars). Pennies and silver dollars are no longer minted, but if you have any - don’t panic, they are still accepted.

You can expect virtually all shops, restaurants and hotels to accept card payments.

 

Left over US dollars

If you have left over US dollars, think twice before changing them back. US dollars are widely accepted in some Latin American, African and Asian countries.
