Macau pataca

## Detailed answer

The official currency of Macau is the Macau pataca, although the Hong Kong dollar is also widely accepted. Visitors can exchange their currency at banks, currency exchange offices, or hotels, and many shops and restaurants also accept major credit cards. It's a good idea to have some local currency on hand, especially for small purchases or at traditional markets and food stalls.
