Currency
Seychelles is located in East Africa. They are a state and have a currency in circulation - the Seychelles rupee. As with most cash, one unit consists of and equates to 100 cents. It is designated in international circulation as SCR, in within the state itself - SR. For the first time, the rupee entered circulation in 1914 and has remained the national currency to this day. By the way, even today you can find money issued back in 1983, and they will be quite in demand. You can rarely meet them, but if this happens - do not let it be alarming.
In circulation, you will find monetary units in denominations of 10, 25, 50, 100, 500 rupees and coins of 1 and 5 rupees and, of course, the cents themselves - 1, 5, 10 and 25.
What currency to take to the Seychelles? The answer is unambiguous - the dollar and the euro, they find recognition everywhere, and even African countries are no exception. It is better to take both those and others, in a ratio of approximately: 70 to 30 (euro to dollar). The euro is holding more stable positions, so make your main bet on it.
How to change
They change money at every turn, these are bins and exchangers and even shops (up to $ 10). It is not necessary to go to a large city for an exchange. By the way, this country has long forgotten about the black currency market.
Currency exchange in Seychelles is best done at exchange offices. In banks, the rate is always slightly lower and therefore you can lose about 50 cents. Exchange as much as you need for expenses. It will be possible to exchange rupees back for euros only at a bank.
Money in the Seychelles has a fairly stable exchange rate, so you can rest assured. You can find out about it by buying any local newspaper in any store or market, it costs about 5 rupees
