Mongolia Currency

The Tugrik (₮ or MNT) is the native currency of Mongolia. The current exchange rate is around 1 USD = 3,329 MNT.

In Ulaanbaatar, you might be allowed to use US dollars, although Tugrik is the only accepted currency across the remainder of the nation. When exchanging money, make sure all the bills are undamaged and seem new.

For bigger transactions, it is advised that you bring both cash and a credit card.

Credit Cards and ATMs

In Ulaanbaatar and several other cities, the majority of big hotels and eateries often allow major credit cards. Credit cards are not frequently accepted, however you might be able to use them in upscale stores. There are numerous perfectly functional ATMs in Ulaanbaatar.
