Serbia - Money
Currency & Money
Serbian Dinar (RSD; symbol динар or Дин), with 1 dinar = 100 paras. Banknotes are in denominations of Дин. 5,000, 1,000, 500, 200, 100, 50, 20 and 10. Coins are in denominations of Дин.20, 10, 5, 2 and 1.
International credit cards such as Visa and MasterCard are accepted in most shops, hotels and restaurants in Serbia. Diners Club and American Express are not so widely accepted.
ATMs are widely available throughout Belgrade, Novi Sad, and other urban centres in Serbia. Most machines accept international bank cards, especially those on the Visa, Mastercard, and Maestro networks. However, it is wise to carry enough Serbian dinars before heading to the countryside.
Travellers entering or leaving Serbia are permitted to carry up to €10,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies, including the Serbian dinar) without the need for declaration.
If the amount exceeds €10,000, it must be declared upon arrival. This is important because only declared funds may be re-exported. When departing Serbia, travellers may take out a maximum of €10,000 (or the exact amount they declared upon entry) whether in foreign currency, local currency, or a combination of both.
Currency exchange offices (called "menjačnica" in Serbian) are available throughout Serbia, especially in cities such as Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš. Euros are the most commonly exchanged currency, but US dollars, British pounds, and Swiss francs are also widely accepted for exchange. Scottish and Northern Irish Pound Sterling bank notes are not accepted.
