A landlocked South American country

Currency and checks before departure
The currency listed is the Surinamese dollar (SRD). The information consulted does not specify exchange rates, accepted payment methods or cash availability. Check these details with up-to-date sources before traveling, and verify again any practical information that may change.
Scope of this overview
This overview situates the country using basic facts; it does not describe places to visit or provide entry instructions. Deciding on an itinerary, transport or requirements calls for specific, current sources; these details should not be inferred from the capital, language or currency.
