Changing Excess OS Notes in Melbourne - Help Please!

[ctrunfree]

We have some Kiwi dollars and Thai baht left over from recent trips, and little prospect of being able to use them in their native habitats for some time - would appreciate your expert advice on where to get the best exchange rate and lowest exchange fee in Melbourne when exchanging them for good old Aussie Dollars.

There are a bunch of AFFers travelling to NZ in late April. That may give you an opportunity.

That reminds me...I need to look for NZ cash leftover from my trip last year....edit: found NZD$192:mrgreen: That should cover my airport transfer and my first day in Akl!

We have a jar in the back of the pantry where foreign currency / notes live until they are useful again. If only I'd checked before I went to NZ last week...

Try UAE Exchange

Unless you have a significant amount I would hang on to them until the next trip.

Some of the exchange places around Brisbane and Sydney make my eyes water. e.g They sell THB for ~37 and buy it back for ~27. The current exchange is 32 baht/AUD and they are making a fortune.

The exchange rates are obscene. I am seriously thinking about retiring and opening up a currency exchange business that had realistic margins, not the joke that one sees everywhere, but I am afraid the mafia would try to silence me very quickly....
