Grenadian Currency

The money here is so pretty! It's multi-colored and has fish, turtles, and an assortment of other things on it. Buying things here is a little disorienting because it is $2.67 EC for every $1.00 US. For instance, a bagel with butter was $5 EC, our sandwiches for lunch were $13.49 EC, and dinner was $16 EC. Seems a lot more expensive until you do the conversion!

We can pay for things in US dollars but we get EC back. I'll be building up my collection over the next several months I'm sure. It was fun using foreign currency for the first time this afternoon. Continues to help make it all real!
