Yes, to Macau, need not change any pataca. HK$ is 100% valid and almost same amt as HK$. However I'm not sure whether RMB can be used bcos there is an obvious diff in value

RMB can be used

but it is very 'rugi' to use RMB there

NT$ everywhere in M'sia also very bad rate lah. If you want to save ~ RM30-RM40 for each RM1000 you converted, better buy US$ & change to NT$ at Taiwan airport. Otherwise, withdraw there using your ATM or credit card. better than any local money changers smile.gif

anybody going to USA soon? Would it be advisable to bring converted USD cash from Malaysia in a lump sump? or should you be using inter-bank transfer with $15 service charge. Damn $15 can cover 3 Burger King meals.

Hi everyone,

Pls share with some of your knowledge on AUD. Should I change in KL before leaving?

AUD is rather high now sad.gif and this is incurring out cost.
Do you know where is the next best money changer besides Wawasan in MV?

Anybody knows where is the best place to exchange USD in Penang Island?
Just bought some last weekend at Queensbay Mall @ 3.01.
I always change there coz convenient, though am wondering if there are better rates elsewhere and by how much?

Getting the lowest might not be a good choice after you consider the time, fuel & even parking going to the best money changers in Penang.

I know, I hate the bad traffic situation in Penang. Not to mention the inconsiderate drivers.
Just trying to find out the painless way i.e. online, if there are really much better rates out there and whether the amount of effort expended is worth it.

US$3.01 is actually goot dy..Even Wawasan (One of the cheapest in KL) also qouted this rate Today: http://www.wawasanmoneychanger.com.my/exchangeRates.asp

If you able to find lower, It will not be as low as RM2.95..The best based on Wawasan Today probably Rm2.99 in Kl..at this rate..try to make abit of calculation..Let say you change US$1000..The different between RM3010 to RM2990 only RM20. Is it worth going all the way let say 20km away to get the rate spending RM5 for fuel & another RM5 for parking and not to mention the jam & time wasted?

Nah I don't think the 3.01 I got is good. That's on the 14th (Sat), where according to Yahoo, the exchange rate closed at 3.0087.
Anyway the link you gave looks useful, will check on it next time, thanks!

That link is from the most famous money changer in KL and one of the cheapest in town ..well most of the time, it's the cheapest.

You can't comapre to yahoo rate because that's is market rate. Those money changers also traded and buying from money market. and only Bank Negara can give that closest rate.. Impossible to get that in whole M'sia..Based on what yahoo rate..it's even more tough to get anything lower than RM3. unlss US$ going down again just like b4 Osama got killed biggrin.gif

Indonesian rupiah is well traded here in M'sia..almost to market value. No point changing to US$ 1st as you will loss on double commission for sure.

Only change to US$ 1st if the diff between Money changer & market rate really huge..for eg..Taiwan $, Vietnamese Dong, Phillipine peso & etc
