What currency can you use in Zambia?

The currency used in Zambia is the Zambian kwacha (ZMW). It is the official currency of Zambia and is subdivided into 100 ngwee. The currency is issued and regulated by the Bank of Zambia. Banknotes are available in denominations of 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 kwacha, while coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, and 50 ngwee, as well as 1 kwacha.

It’s important to note that while the Zambian kwacha is the legal tender in Zambia, U.S. dollars are also widely accepted in certain establishments, particularly in tourist areas or for larger transactions.
