Currency in Singapore

What is the currency in Singapore No matter, throughout the lifetime of the country it was one of the most stable in the world. And all because the money in Singapore - dollar - have always been tied to the British pound.
Young - not always green

In Russian, for obvious reasons, the word "dollar" is associated with the adjective "green". In part, this is true for one of the youngest (1967) currencies in the world - the Singapore dollar. Denominations five and fifty dollars are green-turquoise color. The rest of the notes in their colorings are more like evrosoyuzovskie. Other than those mentioned are also bank notes in denominations of ten, twenty, a hundred or a thousand dollars. However, the thousand-dollar bill fails to see very few people, for example, as well as its American counterpart - these are the customs of cash circulation.
Already regardless of binding to the British pound sterling money Singapore remain stable means of payment and, therefore, domestic movements of the dollar against foreign currencies are insignificant.
What currency to take to Singapore

Unrestricted import of foreign currency in Singapore burdened only by filling the declaration. And then - you need only declare the amount in excess of 30,000 Singapore dollars (about 24,000 US dollars).
Like almost all other countries of the way foreign currency banknotes are portraits of American presidents. Historically, the British pound and also held in high esteem. So what about the kind of currency to take to Singapore can be especially do not hesitate - take the US. She can even pay in many major centers.
No problems of currency exchange in Singapore. Banks are open all weekdays, many large - even on weekends.
However, it is worth noting that the country has seen quite a clear tendency to move (informal) on non-cash payments. Singaporeans themselves hardly use cash and pay off credit cards. And the hallmark of the monetary system and financial services market can safely be called the presence of terminals for payment cards, even in miniscule retail establishments and catering outlets. And it almost every even very small cafe necessarily have an ATM.
So to the question of what currency to take in Singapore, our answer is obvious - take credit card. And any problems.
