Software development in the US Virgin Islands

The US Virgin Islands use the US dollar outright, which removes one problem and plants another: it is easy to assume the next island over does the same. An hour away, it does not.

Money in the US Virgin Islands. The US Virgin Islands use the US dollar outright, which removes the conversion problem and creates a different one: it is easy to assume the rest of the region does too. It does not — a neighbouring island an hour away may be on a pegged EC dollar or a floating rate.

Even here every amount carries its currency code. A field that is "obviously dollars" is the field that breaks the day the product crosses a border.

What the lab ships in the US Virgin Islands
