Honduras uses the Honduran lempira, written as HNL. The lempira is named after a 16th-century indigenous leader who resisted Spanish conquest. Banknotes feature national heroes, wildlife, and cultural symbols. Cash is the main method of payment, though cards are common in cities like Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula. The lempira’s value can fluctuate, but it remains central to everyday transactions. Exchange offices and banks handle U.S. dollars and other foreign currencies. The lempira reflects Honduras’ heritage and modern economy.
