United  States of America (USD) US Dollar

The United States of America is staunchly proud of their currency and this is the most fundamental reason why there has been very little change in the overall design of the banknotes over the years. The front of every ‘bill’ sports the portrait of a famous president in history and the backs of the notes tend to have pictures of famous buildings. With an increase in the incidence of fraud, the U.S. dollar bills have realised the addition of a little more colour onto the notes, so as to make them harder to copy. The dollar is split into 100 cents and the currency code is ‘USD’.

Currently in circulation

In terms of coins, the 1, 5 (nickel), 10 (dime) and 25 (quarter) cents denominations are the most common. The dollar coin is becoming increasingly popular and although not worth that much, the Americans are adamantly clinging on to this denomination as the lowest of the range of banknotes. Other banknotes include the 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 dollars. There is also a 2 dollar bill but this is quite rare. Currency Today can offer the very best US Dollar exchange rates for overseas property purchases and business transactions.

Exchange facilities and traveller’s cheques

Arguably the easiest country in the world to find all of these types of facilities. Foreign exchange facilities are commonplace in the larger towns and cities and this level of completion means that you can shop around for the best deals on rates and commission. Traveller’s cheques are widely accepted, especially in the known tourist hotspots. You would need to ensure that you take the cheques in U.S. dollars. Other currencies could be exchanged in banks for a fee. For the best US Dollars exchange rates and holiday money click here.

Using credit/debit cards

You will find that you are able to use visa, mastercard and Amex cards very easily. Credit cards are accepted in most outlets and even in the smallest towns. Be careful to find out if your card provider will charge you each time you use your card, however. It may be better to take cash and/or traveller’s cheques. You will also be able to use debit cards in ATM machines to make cash withdrawals. There and hundreds of thousands of these machines scattered right across the entire country.

US Dollar Restrictions

Whilst there are no restrictions on importing or exporting local and/or foreign currency, U.S. Customs would expect you to declare any amounts that are equivalent to $10,000 and over.

United States of America: an overview

With the 48 contiguous states and Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean and Alaska closer to Canada, the United States of America is one of the largest countries in the world. It is also a very popular tourist destination and with absolutely every type of landscape and form of entertainment imaginable, you will soon see why. The 50 states make the U.S. extremely diverse and the large cities are some of the most exciting places to visit in the world.

From Disneyland in California to the Grand Canyon in Arizona, right across to the eastern seaboard there is always something in the U.S. to see.

Generally speaking the U.S. is a relatively cheap place to visit. There is always excellent choice for any budget type. Accommodation can be very reasonable, especially in smaller and less known areas. New York and the other largest cities can be very expensive in this regard and you may struggle to find a decent hotel for anything less than £120/$180 per room, per night. Restaurants will vary considerably and you will always find an establishment that will cater to your budget.
