EXCHANGE RATES
When exchanging one currency for another, an 'Exchange Rate' is used to determine how much a unit of currency A is worth in currency B. Exchange rates vary considerably depending on where and when you exchange currencies. Many different institutions offer foreign exchange facilities, ranging from banks to kiosks on street corners, railway station booking offices and even individuals (often operating illegally!) in the street. Official exchange rates are usually published by the main banks. Most suppliers of foreign exchange facilities will offer rates at or close to the official rate on the day. Many of these suppliers will then deduct a 'commission' charge which the customer exchanging money pays to the supplier for the service they provide. Watch out for suppliers of foreign exchange offering what appear to be excellent rates but charging very high rates of commission. Similarly, beware of "no commission" deals where the rate is very poor.
