What is the currency of Uruguay? Do I need to exchange my money?
Rating: +2
Uruguay has a dual currency system where the local Peso and U.S. dollars are both readily accepted. If you want to eat, shop or take a tour while you are in Montevideo having U.S. dollars should be sufficient to pay for your activities.
Local business may provide your change in Pesos when you pay in dollars. A selection of small denomination bills can help avoid you reaching the end of your stay with a few odd Pesos in your pocket.
