What kind of money do they take in Alaska?

I called to alert my credit card company that I was traveling to Canada and Alaska, so they didn't think someone had stolen my card and gone on their own Alaska adventure on my dime.

One of women I spoke to (who was not one of the many Indian people I spoke to in the call centers but rather had a Southern accent) asked me "what kind of money do they take in Alaska?" I was very nice in my response, but inside my head, I was yelling, "It's part of America, woman! They take American dollars!" Sheesh. Everyone should be required to take a geography class at some point in their life.

It's okay... at least your Credit Card company didn't tell you that they couldn't continue to give you service because Alaska is not in the United States.

I mean... REALLY.
