Today I’m going to talk about my little adventure with money in Sierra Leone. You know, I’ve always been curious about different currencies, so when I got the chance to go to Sierra Leone, I was like, “Heck yeah, let’s do this!”

Money in Sierra Leone: How Much Do Things Cost? (A Simple Guide for Travelers)

First, I got my hands on some Leones, which is their currency. It’s divided into 100 cents, pretty standard stuff. I exchanged some of my dollars for Leones at a local bank. The exchange rate wasn’t too bad, and I felt like a high roller with all those Leones in my wallet. Of course, I immediately found out, that one Leone is worth close to nothing these days.

Next, I tried to actually spend the money. I went to a market, and oh boy, was it an experience! People were selling everything you could imagine – clothes, food, electronics, you name it. I bargained for a few souvenirs, and it was a blast. They’d start with some crazy high price, I’d counter with a low one, and we’d go back and forth until we agreed on something. I ended up getting a cool wooden mask and some colorful fabrics. I hope that wasn’t too much money, I am actually still unsure.

  • Visited a local bank to exchange currency.
  • Explored a bustling market.
  • Bargained for souvenirs.
  • Purchased a wooden mask and fabrics.

Later, I ate at a small restaurant. The food was delicious, and it was super cheap! I paid for my meal with Leones, and I still had a bunch left over. I decided to keep some as a souvenir and exchange the rest back to dollars before I left. I did not do that yet, since I haven’t actually left the country yet. But I definitely should, otherwise, I’ll be stuck with all this useless money.

Overall, it was a fun experience messing around with the money in Sierra Leone. It’s always interesting to see how different countries do things. Plus, bargaining in the market was a real highlight. That’s about it for my money adventure, hope you enjoyed it!
