The local currency is the Uzbek Sum. There are bank notes of 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 som.
Always exchange money at official exchange offices - there are many of them. It is illegal to change currency on the black market, although the exchange rate can be up to 30% higher than in banks. Some hotels will exchange money on the side at the better rate. US dollars can fetch a good rate but other acceptable currencies are Euros, British pounds, Russian rubles or Japanese Yen. Notes must be in perfect condition with no marks or damage. As of December 2010, the exchange rate is about 2250SUM to US$1. Few ATM's (known as Bankomat) work with foreign cards. US dollars are available inside banks using international credit cards with commission of about 2%. The dollars can then be changed to local currency. Newer shops and hotels are accepting credit cards and Maestro.
