Currency Exchange
Currency should be exchanged at a registered exchange point. There are plenty of outlets in tourist-oriented places, including bank branches, ATMs, and specialised kiosks known as "kantors". Note that cash should not be exchanged on the street or with bystanders. The rates offered at the airports are pretty bad.
