The official currency of Macedonia is the Denar. You should only change money through banks or official exchange offices and not through street dealers. ATMs are widely available in Skopje, less so in other main towns. Credit Cards are accepted in many of the larger hotels, restaurants and shops.
You must declare all foreign currency on arrival where the total amount exceeds the equivalent of 10,000 Euro. Failure to do so may result in detention and forfeiture of funds when attempting to leave Macedonia.
