Guyana uses the Guyanese dollar, written as GYD. It has been the official currency since independence in 1966. Banknotes feature national heroes, cultural icons, and scenic landscapes. Cash is the main method of payment, though cards are accepted in bigger cities like Georgetown. The currency’s value can fluctuate, but it remains central to daily life. Exchange offices and banks handle foreign currencies for travelers. The Guyanese dollar represents both the nation’s independence and its economic activity.
