Do taxi drivers, shops, etc. accept U.S. Dollars? When they give you a price for something, is it in U.S. Dollars? Better to use dollars or credit card? Thanks for any help :smile

They readily accepted US dollars. You get the best rates if you pay in US currency rather than in local currency. If you can use a credit card (obviously not in taxis, but in stores) you get the credit card company protection against fraud, and better exchange rates. Use it.

Martinique uses the Euro, now. In the shops in Barbados, in the duty free and more touristy areas, the prices were posted in US dollars.
