The official currency of Azerbaijan is the Azerbaijani Manat (AZN, ₼). The manat is divided into 100 qepik. It has been the official currency of Azerbaijan since 1992, replacing the Soviet ruble.
Manat banknotes are available in the following denominations: 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 manat. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, and 50 qepik.
Currency exchange services are widely available throughout Azerbaijan, especially in major cities like Baku. You can exchange foreign currency at banks, exchange bureaus, and some hotels. ATMs are also widely available, allowing you to withdraw manat directly from your bank account.
Credit and debit cards are increasingly accepted in Azerbaijan, particularly in Baku and other major cities. However, it is advisable to carry some cash, especially when traveling to rural areas or for small purchases.
