Mauritian Currency

Before I mention about food and travel, here's a little info about our currency. The currency we use is called the Rupee, more precisely the Mauritian rupee, which is rather different from the Indonesian or Indian rupee. For everybody's convenience,

1 USD = Rs 30, give or take

I guess you can do the math for your own currency from USD :)

We have notes with the following values: Rs 2000, Rs 1000, Rs 500, Rs 200, Rs 100, Rs 50, Rs 25
Some of them are illustrated below :

Rs 100, Rs 200 and Rs 1000 notes

The most common coins in use are: Rs 1, Rs 5, Rs 10, Rs 20

Rs 1, Rs 5, Rs 10 and Rs 20 coins

Other coins (20 cents and 50 cents) are not really used anymore.
