BLACK
MARKET
Many countries have a vibrant black
market in currency exchange. People
on the street will offer vastly better
rates for your money. They make a
profit because their currency is so
volatile that they can turn yours for
even higher cash or it is a scam. It
is an alternate means of increasing
buying power but be careful.
Counterfeiting needs to be part of the
dialogue. Large bills are often hard to
use. Many shop owners will not accept
them. Some countries will only deal in
new crisp money and reject the older,
worn bills. Do not be insulted. They
have their reasons.
