Haiti uses the Haitian gourde, written as HTG. It’s been the country’s official currency since 1813. Banknotes feature historical figures, cultural symbols, and national landmarks. Cash is widely used, especially in markets and smaller towns, while cards are accepted in hotels and larger shops. The gourde’s value can fluctuate due to economic instability, so U.S. dollars are often used alongside it. Banks and exchange offices handle currency conversion for travelers. The gourde is a symbol of Haiti’s history and sovereignty.
