Question

What is the Anguilla Currency?

Answer

Anguilla is a British Independent Island. They use Eastern Caribbean (EC) which is listed in all the grocery store prices. But everyone on the island accepts US dollars. Most places do accept credit cards with no foreign transaction fees. And to note they have a high hospitality tax in the restaurants. It is easier to pay in cash at a lot of places and there isn't really an easy way to get cash once on the island so just come with cash prepared and then there is a safe in your room so you don't have to carry it all around.
