Best Answer

Since the currency there is the US dollar, residents of the states do not need to exchange their currency when vacationing there.

Because the U. S. owns Puerto Rico, no passport is needed when traveling between there and the states.

People born in Puerto Rico are natural born citizens of the United States according to the Congressional Research Service.
