Practical travel information on Money and costs in Liberia

Money & costs

Money

The unit of currency is the Liberian ‘unity’ dollar (L$). US dollars are also widely accepted.

Money can be changed at the airport, foreign-exchange bureaus in Monrovia and banks. Avoid changing money on the street. The best rates are for the US dollar, though other major currencies are also accepted. Travellers cheques are virtually useless. Credit cards are not accepted anywhere, and there are no ATMs.
