Money in St. Vincent & Grenadines
East Caribbean Dollar · $ · XCD
Take a shared van from Argyle airport to Kingstown for about EC$3, not a EC$70 taxi (2019 prices).
US banknotes are widely taken alongside the local currency, so most shops accept them.
To pay in US dollars, multiply the EC price by 0.4 and hand that over; change comes back.

About the data

Written from the sources we link, and checked against them before each release. Countrywise summarises public sources. We are not an official source. For safety and entry rules, always follow the official page we link to.

From your foreign ministry when it publishes its advice openly (Germany, the US, the UK). Otherwise we show those three side by side. Checked daily, with the date next to every entry.
