Tanzania currency is the Tanzanian shilling (Tsh or TZS), divided into 100 cents. The Tanzanian shilling is the official currency of Tanzania, but US dollars, the pound, and the euro are also widely accepted in tourist areas. When exchanging currency, it's essential to be mindful of the exchange rates, as they can vary depending on where you exchange your money. While the Tanzanian shilling is the primary currency used for day-to-day transactions, especially in local markets and rural areas, major tourist hubs and hotels often accept foreign currencies for convenience. However, it's advisable to carry some Tanzanian shillings for smaller purchases and transactions, as using foreign currency may not always be practical or cost-effective.
