Money: The unit of currency is the Cape Verdean Escudo (CVE), broken
down into 100 centavos. The CVE is tied to the Euro at CVE 110.27 =
1 Euro. There is a bureau de change at the airport, and local banks
will change travellers cheques and foreign currency, although there
is a high commission on travellers cheques. ATMs can be found at
the airport and in Sal, Praia and Sâo Vincent. Major credit
cards, particularly MasterCard and Visa are currently accepted in a
few main resort hotels and restaurants. Banks will give cash on
credit cards but commissions are high. To avoid additional charges,
carry travellers cheques in US Dollars or Pounds Sterling. Currency Exchange Rates
