Dollar (USD) is the currency in Turks and Caicos Islands

The American dollar, US dollar, is one of the world currencies. It is not just used in United States but valid in many other countries around the globe. The currency is issued by the Federal Reserve System.

Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) is a British colony in the West Indies. Tourism, fishing and banking are the basis for the economy. Even though it is a british colony they use US dollar as currency because the primary trading economy and partner is America.

The government mints coins called Crowns, but these are generally only bought by tourists as souvenirs. However, the can be traded at the Treasury on par with the USD (1 crown = 1 US dollar).
