Each country in South America has it's own unique currency (with one exception).
I will be creating links, so that it will be easier to visualize. Please keep in mind that when I mention exchange rate, it is a one-time rate based upon the time I checked the rates. (They are in a constant state of fluctuation.) I am comparing the US Dollar to the local currency.
The first country we will be visiting by ship is PANAMA.
Currency BALBOA USD1 = 0.98283 (approx)
Next is ECUADOR. You will see references to the SUCRE, but this is an obsolete currency.
Currency US DOLLAR USD1 = 1
PERU NUEVO SOL USD1 = 2.68784
CHILE PESO USD1 = 513.498
ARGENTINA PESO USD1 = 5.34472
URUGUAY PESO USD1 = 20.1836
Many visitors on board cruise ships will elect to visit other countries on land tours afterwards. I will list other countries they might visit.
BRAZIL REAL USD1 = 2.13596
COLUMBIA PESO USD1 = 1,882
PARAGUAY GUARANI USD1 = 4,334.69
BOLIVIA BOLIVIANO USD1 = 6.78762
FALKLAND ISLANDS (Islas Malvinas) FALKLAND ISLAND POUND
USD1 = .64643 (which, incidentally, is equal to the exchange rate of the British Pound Sterling) Many cruise ships include the Falklands Islands in their itinerary, depending on weather conditions.
VENEZUELA BOLIVAR USD1 = 6,287.81
These are the most visited countries in South America.

I would like to know the answer to your question. Currency issues are always a challenge even when travelling in only two countries/continents that have different currencies. If you're only spending a short time in one place like when you're on a cruise ship stop, the need for the right currency is there but you don't generally need as much as when you're staying in one or two places for a long time. Are you using primarily American cash and getting change back in local currency? If you have another way, I'd love to hear it. Happy travels!!
Hectic. That's why I took a cache card last time I travelled and drew money in each country
