L'argent / Money
Moyens de paiement
Tout achat doit être payé en manats, mais les agences de voyages et les hôtels demandent souvent un paiement en dollars ; gardez une réserve des deux devises.
On ne peut obtenir des espèces sur présentation de carte bancaire que dans les banques d’Achgabat et, avec de la chance, aux quelques DAB qui fonctionnent et acceptent les cartes internationales (le seul DAB fiable que nous ayons trouvé est celui du Sofitel Ashgabat Oguzkent Hotel, qui ne distribue que des manats). En dehors de la capitale, seul Western Union effectue des virements d’urgence. Quelques hôtels de luxe d’Achgabat et de rares établissements acceptent les cartes de crédit, aussi ne comptez pas sur ce moyen de paiement. Les chèques de voyage ne sont acceptés nulle part (Lonely Planet).

Manat turkmène
The currency of Turkmenistan is the manat, which is composed of 100 tenne. There does not exist any more exchange at the black-market, which much expensive returns the country for the visitors. All the offices of changeappliquent a fixed rate of 2.85 M for 1 $US. Omnipresent, they do not invoice commission and change dollars and euros in the two directions (you will not need an official certificate to change your manats before leaving the country). The American dollars remain the currency of choice in Turkmenistan, and best is to have various cuts of them. Often, only the tickets in very good state are accepted. The euros are generally easy to change, though a little less apart from Achgabat. Do not bring other currencies.
Any purchase must be paid in manats, but the travel agencies and the hotels often require a payment in dollars; keep a reserve of the two currencies.
