Money: A Note For Foreign Travelers
US currency comes in $1 bills and coins, bills of $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100, plus various larger (and rarer) denominations. Confusingly, all are the same size and same green color, making it necessary to check each bill carefully. The dollar is made up of 100 cents in coins of 1 cent (usually called a penny ), 5 cents (a nickel ), 10 cents (a dime ) and 25 cents (a quarter ). Fifty-cent and $1 coins are less frequently seen. Change - especially quarters - is needed for buses, vending machines and telephones, so always carry plenty. Generally speaking, one pound sterling will buy $1.40, one Canadian dollar is worth around 65c, one Australian dollar equals about 50c and one New Zealand dollar is equivalent to about 42c. At the time of publication, the Euro equaled 89c but had not been phased in completely
