Whats the Belizean currency and how easy is it to exchange U.S. dollars for Belize dollars?
The Belize dollar is firmly fixed at the rate of 2:1 to the U.S. dollar. So exchange rates and prices rarely waver. Because of the fixed rate, hotels, restaurants, and places of business often accept the U.S. dollar. However, pay close attention to what currency is being quoted. Often, those crazy Belizeans dupe us gringos into paying in U.S. bills when they’re quoting BZ dollars.
