Cabo Verde uses the Cape Verdean escudo, written as CVE. It’s pegged to the euro, which keeps it steady and predictable. The escudo is named after the old Portuguese currency, reflecting the islands’ colonial history. You’ll find colorful notes showing poets, explorers, and the country’s scenic islands. Cash is widely used, though cards work in hotels and tourist areas. Euros are often accepted too, especially in larger towns. The escudo symbolizes Cabo Verde’s independence and growing tourism-driven economy.
