The currency is the Manx pound, fixed at 1:1 with UK currency (pound sterling). Both Manx and sterling are accepted on the island, but Manx pounds are not accepted in the UK. You will receive a mixture of currency when on the island. If you need to withdraw only sterling, use the ATM at the Douglas Sea Terminal.
People living on the island are typically well-travelled (much more than their British relatives) and as a result they are friendly and helpful towards foreign strangers, mostly without fear. The population is mostly [[UK|British]] (50%) or Manx (45%), with sizeable [[South Africa|South African]], [[Ireland|Irish]], [[Poland|Polish]] and [[Philippines|Filipino]] minorities.
