Sao Tome and Principe uses the São Tomé and Príncipe dobra, written as STN. It has been the official currency since 2018, after a redenomination of the old dobra. Banknotes feature national landmarks, cultural symbols, and famous personalities. Cash is widely used, though cards are accepted in larger towns like São Tomé. Coins are used for smaller transactions. The dobra’s value can fluctuate with the economy. The São Tomé and Príncipe dobra reflects the country’s independence and cultural identity.
