Currency
The Myanmar kyat (MMK) is the official currency. Though the kyat is subdivided into 100 pyas, pya coins are uncommon, and instead, notes  of  up to 1000 kyat are most commonly used. While the official exchange rate is usually around 7 kyat to one US dollar, the currency is known for its extremely variable street rate.  We recommend that cash and travelers cheques be exchanged in licensed exchange offices and international hotels.
