I have already tried a few shops around Shah Alam, Subang, Puchong but none of them could do so.
I need to know a place where you can change Myanmar Kyatts to Ringgit in KL [within the Klang Valley] |

I have no idea why you have extra Myanmar cash lying around. |

QUOTE(spacelion @ Jul 17 2011, 10:48 PM) why didnt you exchange it back in Myanmar? I have about 2,250 kyatts which approximately worths RM 1,050. My uncle who was there for a few months gave it to me, as a souvenir ... it wasn't meant to be exchanged..since i am in need of some cash, i really have to exchange it.from what I know you just bring USD to Myanmar and exchange it with the bank when you need cash, most shops also accept USD. I have no idea why you have extra Myanmar cash lying around. |

there is 2 rates i believe..
QUOTE Since 2001, the official exchange rate has varied between 5.75 and 6.70 kyats per US dollar (8.20 to 7.00 kyats per euro). However, the street rate (black market rate), which more accurately takes into account the standing of the national economy, has varied from 800 kyats to 1335 kyats per USD (985 to 1475 kyats per EUR). Black market exchange rates (USD to MMK) decrease during the peak of the tourist season in Myanmar (December to January). The following exchange rates are official and are primarily stagnant. They do not indicate performance of the actual national economy. and i dun think any money changer heere will change for you also.. you can onli change it within myanmar so u r 2250 kyat may worth not more than RM10 sos : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myanma_kyat This post has been edited by jinaun: Jul 17 2011, 11:06 PM |

The black market MMK rates may vary significantly.
