So now that the US dollar is the standard currency.. is anyone having problems with menu prices (supposed to be all listed in $$ now, right?) or paying with dollars and getting guilders change?
we are a week away from our trip... started to get things ready and start packing. woo hoo!

Only USD are being used now. Guilders officially ended here, 1/31/11 (but like Tom states, still usable in CUR, for now). Local law states that prices have to be shown in both USD and ANG (our old guilder/florin money) thru 7/31/11, for reference, to help residents get used to seeing prices in $. This is why you'll see 2 prices on most everything-from stores to menus.
