The official currency is the Leone (SLL), which is divided
into 100 cents. Foreign currency can be exchanged at banks, foreign
exchange bureaux or hotels and travellers cheques can be cashed at
banks although they are not recommended. Banks are open on weekdays
only. The use of credit cards is very limited, although a few top
hotels and restaurants in Freetown might accept them for payment.
ATMs do not accept foreign cards.
