Bringing Money to Tajikistan, Tajikistan

Tajikistan's unofficial currency is the US Dollar (USD). Euro (EUR) and Russian Roubles (RUB) are also accepted at most exchange points. Uzbek Sum and Kirgyz Som can be exchanged in some exchange kiosks in Dushanbe, Khujand, Penjikent and other border areas.

It is recommended that you bring money to Tajikistan as cash in US Dollars and/or Euros. US Dollar bills should be dated 1996 or later. Earlier versions of the US Dollar had fewer security features and will probably not be accepted. Bills should be clean, not marked, torn or worn looking.

Large denomination bills are most efficient to carry, but bring some smaller denominations for travel and personal exchange. Invest in a money belt that goes under your clothing. Travel with your money divided, so if some is stolen you don't lose it all. Source: www.traveltajikistan.com
