Best Answer

Since Antarctica is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, there is no sovereignty there, no country, no state or provence, no flag, no stamps and no currency.

Coincidentally, there are no commercial ventures on the continent, meaning there's no where there to spend currency.

However, a few research stations sell notions using the currency of the country that supports the station. Their customers are all temporary workers.

Also, few stations are open to tour-boat centric tourists, and the currency these stations use reflect the government that supports the station and the currency most commonly carried by their visitors. These are different currencies: there is no standard for the continent.
