Who else uses the US Dollar?
The US dollar is the official currency of the United States of America, although you will find its also widely used the areas below.
- Parts of Africa use USD notes, we recommend to take Brand New Mint Notes in small denominations
- South East Asia used to be common practice to take USD with you such as places like Vietnam. However over recent years the local currency is better to take with you if available as this is more accepted.
- There are certain parts of South and Central America such as Peru where the USD is also heavily accepted and trusted over the local currency. Make sure to only take smaller denominations that are in very good condition as we have seen old notes refused in the past.
On a whole USD is the most traded currency in the world and should also be in your Plan B due to the ability to change in most destinations.
