USD $ are accepted most everywhere as posters have stated.  Just don't try to use the $2 bill, no one will accept it.  $1s and $5s are great.

 

I'll caution about putting a $100 bill around a wad of small bills though, too inviting to a thief.  Only bring a little bit more cash than what you think you'll need, that's enough.

 

Having a foreign fee free CC, Master or Visa along with your Govt photo ID can be helpful for larger purchases or an emergency.

I agree about not flashing cash. I was joking about wrapping a $100 around a wad of $1’s. I don’t carry a lot of cash into ports, or jewelry, watch etc. Never make yourself a target.
