CURRENCY:
The local currency is the Eastern
Caribbean Dollar, but the US dollar and the GBP pound are also widely
accepted. One US dollar is equivalent to 2.7 EC dollars. Montserrat is
British
Overseas
Territory
, sometimes called a British Colony.
Accordingly, driving is to the left as in the

that will connect with most banks worldwide for fast cash while you
travel.
