What kind of money does Antigua use?

​Antigua and Barbuda, and six other Caribbean islands currently use EC (East Caribbean Dollars). They include Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

Popular tourist destinations, and restaurants in Antigua will also accept USD (United States Dollars). If you are using USD, avoid ripping or creating deep creases, as they are less likely to accept them, so be sure those bills stay crisp!
