Bear, I saw your reply and understood. No, US merchants do not charge in any other currency but US$, but they also don't accept anything but US$, cash or credit. Belize accepts both their own and US$, so it was worth asking. From previous experience, St. Kitts for example, most of the merchants accepted $US and would charge credit cards in US$ (their currency is the East Caribbean dollar). I believe Anguilla did the same but don't quote me on that. wink
