Currency Information:CurrencyThe official currency in Serbia is the New Yugoslav Dinar. New Yugoslav Dinar (CSD) = 100 paras. Notes are in denominations of CSD5,000, 1,000, 200, 100, 50, 20 and 10. Coins are in denominations of CSD20, 10, 5, 2 and 1 and 50 paras.
Currency ExchangeAs elsewhere in
the ex-Yugoslav republics, the only true repositories of value and frequently exchanged currencies are the Euro and the US Dollar (the Pound Sterling is rarely used). Money should be exchanged through official exchange offices only. There are very few ATMs that accept international bank cards. There are several money-exchange machines in Belgrade (including one at the airport), accepting Pounds Sterling, US Dollars and Euros, giving back Dinars. Scottish and Northern Irish Pound Sterling bank notes are not accepted.
Credit/Debit Cards and ATMsInternational credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard and Diners Club are accepted in most shops, hotels and restaurants in Serbia.
Traveller's ChequesAlthough acceptable in theory, in practice these can be very hard to exchange. It is advisable to take hard currency and credit or debit cards.
Banking HoursMon-Sat 0600-1900. Some are open on Sunday.
