The Gambia uses the Gambian dalasi, written as GMD. The dalasi has been in use since 1971 and is divided into 100 bututs. Banknotes show national heroes, cultural symbols, and local wildlife. Cash is the main method of payment, though cards are becoming more common in cities like Banjul. The dalasi’s value can fluctuate due to economic changes, but it remains central to daily life. Exchange offices and banks handle foreign currencies for travelers. The dalasi is a proud symbol of Gambia’s independence and economy.
