US dollars or Euros?

[ValerieJo]

We are going to Martinique for the first time in a few weeks.  I understand that I can use my credit card, however I prefer to pay cash for small souvenirs.  Will most of the vendors accept US dollars or do I need to get Euro's before we leave?  Thank you.

Stalls within the port area are happy to take both.  The further away, the least likely it is for dollars to be happily accepted.   Note to self.  Old and grubby USD notes will mostly be rejected.  They like crisp ones.

It all depends on whether or not the French are mad at us😁or not.

Same ol song and dance. If we "the US" are getting along with the French government, Martinique accepts the US but very unreluctantly. 

If we're not getting along with the French keep it simple save yourself the BS and go get yourself some Euros.

It's as simple as that.
