1 Tanzanian Shilling is subdivided into 100 senti.
The Tanzanian shilling, represented by the symbol TZS is the official currency of Tanzania. The shilling is issued in denominations of Tsh 500, 1,000, 5,000 and 10,000. Coins are issued in denominations of Tsh 1, 5, 10, 20, 100 and 200. Many travelers feel that prices in Tanzania are high and credit cards are typically not accepted for many purchases and hotel accommodations. Establishments that do accept credit cards normally charge a high commission for each transaction. This leads many visitors to carrying cash for most of their purchases and amenities.

The US dollar is the most widely accepted form of currency and can be exchanged easily at a number of locations. The euro is also fairly accepted and easily exchanged. Banks and money exchange desks will offer current exchange rates and most will find that the rates for US$50 and US$100 notes are lower than other transactions. ATMs are available in most areas and many offer access to international accounts. ATMs disperse funds in Tanzanian shillings.
Most major towns and cities offer ATMs outside banks and in major shopping centers. Hotels and airports have ATMs onsite as well. All ATMs provide shillings for cash withdrawals against the Visa or MasterCard but have a limit of around Tsh 300,000 per day. Many higher end hotels and tour operators accept credit cards with commissions that can range from 5 to 10 percent per transaction. Many of the banks in Tanzania will not provide cash withdrawals against credit cards so these transactions will need to be done via ATM.
Banks and foreign exchange bureaus or FOREX offices are found in major towns and cities and will provide foreign currency exchange for the current rate. Foreign exchange offices typically offer faster exchange times and are easier to get through but their rates can be higher than most banks. NBC offers branches throughout the country and offers fairly low rates and easier exchanges than other banks. Banks and foreign exchange offices are all closed from 12:00 pm on Saturday until Monday morning.
Exchanging currency back into original foreign currency when leaving the country is not difficult and most visitors will not be required to show a receipt of the original exchange. Airports offer foreign currency exchange as do banks and foreign exchange bureaus located in various larger cities and towns. There are no notable restrictions placed on importing or exporting foreign currency although any currency should be declared upon entering and exiting the country.
