The official currency of Aruba is the Aruban florin (Afl), which is divided into 100 cents. The silver Florin coins are divided into denominations of 5, 10, 50 cents, and one florin. American dollars are readily accepted everywhere on the island.
Felonious Assaults. In 2012 law enforcement agencies reported 52,901 officers assaulted in the line of duty. This number is low because only 64 percent of the agencies providing UCR data to the FBI actually submit assault data for law enforcement officers. However, from the data the FBI received, 10 percent of law enforcement officers were assaulted in the line of duty, and 28 percent of these assaults resulted in injuries.
According to the FBI, crime is declining nationwide. The agency estimates that 1,163,146 violent crimes occurred across the U.S. in 2013, a 4.4% decrease from the 2012 estimate. After factoring in 5-year and 10-year trends, the 2013 estimate was 12.3% less than the 2009 level and 14.5% less than the 2004 level.
