What is puerto rico currency?

The currency of Puerto Rico is the United States dollar (USD), which is also the official currency of the United States. The US dollar has been the currency of Puerto Rico since 1898, when the United States acquired Puerto Rico from Spain as part of the Treaty of Paris which ended the Spanish-American War. Puerto Rico uses the same denominations of banknotes and coins as the United States, which includes $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills, as well as coins in denominations of 1 cent (penny), 5 cents (nickel), 10 cents (dime), 25 cents (quarter), and 50 cents (half dollar). The US dollar is widely accepted in Puerto Rico, and many businesses and tourist attractions accept credit cards as a form of payment.
