i have change USD for few hundreds (intention is to change to Rubble later in Russia). I changed based on my expected expenses plus another 50%, and I put my ATM and CC as backup. Today I was thinking to change more (USD) and not sure worth it or not as backup. If let say I changed to USD and not use it, is it possible to change back to RM without too much lose

i think all depend on Currency Ex rate ...on day u Changed it

Please be aware that some country doesn't accept old USD notes and also dirty notes. Please beware. No writing or marking on the notes will be the best. Ignore what the money changer people say, insist on the new and clean notes.

Yeah your are rite. Indo they want clean note and dont accept letter start with C for usd100note.

If travel to Camodia or Viet better bring small usd note.

Changed b4 and request new note without mark. They said limited. Usually usd from Arab country they will put mark or chop.

Take note on the 100 bill which begins with CB in serial number, alot country didn't accept it cause most fake dollar start from this CB serial.

hi there..i do hv own MMK money but BNM n kl money changer wont accept it for exchange..came across my mind to change it in yangon airport then..but since you hv said so, i wonder what would happened if i change the money at the airport and what is Hara-Kiri? tq

guys....
do u know where in KL/selangor....
accepts coins..??
i mean i got AUD coins..
would like to change it to MYR....

usually money changer don accept coins to exchange to MYR....

I feel weird cuz whenever I pay usd in US, the cashier will take a marker and mark the dollar note. Any reason in why they are doing that?

the pen is to detect counterfeit note.

just curious that whether local exchange have some diff rate when we use other currency to change it? ex. thai bath to sg dollar.

some time there have left when come back from one place...

hi any1 here have nzd. thanks.

hye guys
im going to thailand next week
this is my first time travel to thailand

its advisable too exchange RM to Bath at Malaysia or Thailand?

if at Malaysia, where is the best place to exchange?
and exchange directly to Bath or USD first?

thanks in advance!

You should just change your RM to Baht in malaysia before departing. However, i've heard that the exchange rate is so much better in the Thailand.

But for me, I usually change all my currencies in KL before departing.

ops, sorry.
its Baht

anyway thanks for the answer
where is the best place to exchange the RM in KL?

Alot of the forummers always go to wawasan. If not mistaken it's in midvalley?? Not so sure.

I always change it at the place near my office in shah alam, else if the bank my sister works has the currency note, will get her to change it.

Yes, wawasan in Mid Valley has one of the best rates. Some said the ones in Masjid Jamek is better but I'm not sure which one.

better change the money here in malaysia, got better xchange rate.
euro is around 4.2x~4.3x in malaysia but in holland the rate is 4.6x~4.7x.

though, if u withdraw from atm, for example using maybank card
cost rm12 per withdrawal n it follow maybank exchange rate.
