Money Matters
The exchange rate has been comparatively stable during last two years ranging between 1675-1800 Mongolian tugriks to 1USD. The euro rate
averages 1.4-1.5 of USD rate. Make sure to change money at banks or
exchange offices in Ulan Bator as it is not always possible in the
countryside, especially in euros and other currencies. Make a note that
damaged notes and notes printed before 1995 may not be accepted. Credit
cards are accepted in large shops and supermarkets in the city. We
advise you to have Mongolian tugriks in your wallet for smaller shops and
bazaars, as well as for necessary supplies in the countryside.
