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

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. For the best US Dollars exchange rates for transfer bank to bank
