The
official currency of Anguilla is the
Eastern
Caribbean dollar (EC$)
, although US dollars are widely accepted. The EC$ is divided into 100 cents.
Bills come in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 EC dollars; coins in 1, 2,
5, 10 and 25 cents. At the time of writing, the rate of exchange was
roughly EC$2.70 to US$1.
Credit cards
are taken at most hotels and restaurants.
Most of the banks are in The Valley and include Barclays, Scotia
and National Bank of Anguilla, normally open from Monday to Thursday
8am-2pm and Friday 8am-4pm.

Seafood aside, almost everything is imported, so prices are relatively
high. To compound matters, a 15 percent service charge is added
to your bill at many restaurants, and 18 percent in tax and
service charges at most hotels. |
