Buy US Dollars Before Travelling to the USA
If you are planning a trip to the USA, we strongly recommend researching the price ranges in the different regions you intend to visit so that you can set your budget before exchanging euros for US dollars. To ensure your stay runs smoothly, we suggest planning as much as possible in advance, particularly when it comes to payment habits.
Credit and debit cards are essential, but so is cash. If you happen to come across a food truck serving your favourite cuisine, for example, it is best to have some dollars on hand. You would not want to miss out on such an opportunity simply because you had not thought about exchanging your euros into US dollars.
Practical Tips for Planning Your Budget
In the United States, tipping is common practice. Waiters and waitresses generally expect a tip of at least 15%, but for good service, tips can reach 20%. In this case, it may be worthwhile exchanging your euros into dollars before travelling so that you have some cash with you.
It is advisable to plan a daily budget that includes food, travel expenses, phone and internet usage, and laundry services, for example. A daily budget of between USD 100 and USD 250 is recommended. The average tourist spends USD 144 per day in New York.

The US dollar is one of the most recognised and stable currencies in the world, making currency conversion straightforward. Although the US dollar is the official currency of the United States, it is also widely used in other countries such as Zimbabwe, Ecuador, El Salvador, Timor-Leste, the Marshall Islands, Palau, and Micronesia.
The US dollar is commonly nicknamed the “buck”. What is the story behind this familiar name? The term “buck” dates back to a time when deer skins were used as a trading commodity by hunters. In English, “buck” refers to a male deer. When banknotes were later introduced, the name remained in use.
