Myanmar > General Information > Money
The currency is the Kyat (MMK) consisting of 100 Pyas. There are FEC (Foreign Exchange Certificates) for tourists. FECs are available in equivalents of USD 1, USD 5, and USD 10.
Make sure you always have small change, since there are many places that simply do not have the money to change big notes.
Credit cards are not accepted due to US restrictions and it can be very difficult to change traveller's cheques. Therefore, it is recommended to carry cash. The Burmese are honest, so there is not much danger of getting robbed.
Cash advances are not possible at the moment.
