Well, I think there are a number of things that drew us to the area: 1  The rolling green grassy hills. Lexington isnât nearly as wooded as the places weâve visited over the last six months. 2  Horse culture. Kim has loved horses since she was a little girl. 3  Bourbon. I like whisky.  Low cost of living.
The Aruban Florin is pegged to the US Dollar at 1.79 Florin = 1 USD. The Central Bank of Aruba issues the currerncy. Aruba is a 33-km long island in the southern Caribbean Sea, 27 km north of the coast of Venezuela and approximately 130 km east of the peninsula of Guajira in Colombia.
Re: Currency used in Aruba. 03 February 2007, 23:33. US $$ is accepted everywhere but if you go to any of the off-the-beaten-path-of-tourism places, I would get some Aruban currency. We stopped at a McDonald's in Santa Cruz to get a pop and the poor gal at the counter had a hard time figuring it out. Finally a manager went in the back room and got US $$ for my change.
