Currency & How to pay
The official currency in Macedonia is the Macedonian Denar (MKD). In circulation there are coins in worth of 1 Denar, 2 Denars, 5 Denars, 10 Denars and 50 Denars. Meanwhile, the paper money in circulation are worth of 10 Denars, 50 Denars, 100 Denars, 200 Denars, 500 Denars, 1000 and 2000 Denars. You need Denars to purchase everything. Although some places accept Euros, that is an exception, as the Euro is not a valid currency in the country.
Generally, Skopje is a card-friendly place, so you can use your debit/credit card almost everywhere, except for smaller shops and bussineses.
Exchange office
While debit and credit cards are widely accepted, it's always useful to have some local cash on hand. When paying by card, transactions are processed in Denars at the average exchange rate. If you need to exchange money, you’ll find exchange offices at the airport, the main bus station, and throughout the city—especially in the center and around the City Trade Center (GTC Skopje).
Wherever you exchange money, always ask how much you’ll receive before completing the transaction. Be cautious and avoid street exchanges. Exchange offices across the country do not charge commission, and their buy/sell rates are usually clearly displayed.
To locate the closest exchange office in Skopje or Macedonia, we recommend using Zlatna Kniga (Yellow Pages site).
