Curacao Insider Tips
08. Currency in Curaçao
In Curaçao, the local currency is the Caribbean Guilder, abbreviated as XCG.
The Guilder is pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed exchange rate of 1 USD = 1.79 XCG, or in reverse,
1 XCG = $0.56 USD. This consistent rate is honored across the island, so whether you’re shopping, dining, or booking activities, businesses will accept both Guilders and US Dollars interchangeably without favoring one currency over the other.
