Currency
The Mauritian unit of currency is the rupee
(Rs), which is divided into 100 cents ( c ).
Travellers cheques bring a better rate than cash, and there
are no problems with the major currencies. Personal cheques on
the Eurocheque system can also be cashed, but there is a hefty
commission.
You are permitted to bring Rs 700 in and take up to Rs 350 out in
local currency, but duty-free items must be bought with foreign
currency.
