Currency
Turkmen Manat (TMM) = 100 tenge. Notes are in denominations of TMM10,000, 5,000, 1,000, 500, 100, 50, 10, 5 and 1. Coins are in denominations of 50, 20, 10, 5 and 1 tenge.
Currency Exchange
The preferred hard currency is US Dollars and visitors carrying other currencies may find it hard to change them. It is advisable to take new, clean US Dollar notes in small denominations. Foreign currency can be changed at banks and major hotels. Foreigners are expected to pay all travel and hotel bills in hard currency, and prices bear little relation to what locals are expected to pay. Most packages are all-inclusive and extra payment for accommodation and meals is unnecessary.
Credit/Debit Cards and ATMs
Not generally accepted.
Traveller's Cheques
Should be in US currency, but generally not accepted.
Banking Hours
Mon-Fri 0930-1730.
