I don't have a question, but rather an advice. Do not listen to those who advise taking small currency. Only $100 bills! They are changed everywhere and at a high rate, small dollars are not taken everywhere, and they are not changed everywhere

My advice is about Goa. A trifle is almost never taken anywhere, only a couple of times we managed to pay in shek. And then the course was $ 1 - 60 rupees. Whereas $100 - from 62 rupees to 65. The most favorable rate is in the Mapsa market, in jewelry stores - $ 1 - 65 rupees, small dollars there at 62 rupees. In Morjim, when exchanging 100 bucks - 62 rupees each, small ones do not change. In Arambol they changed at 63, in the South in Palolem the lowest exchange rate is 1 dollar 60 rupees.
Rested at the end of December 2016

So yes, small ones are not quoted. We in Agonda changed acres of 66 at the beginning of November 2016.

Irene, so you are still very lucky to change at this rate) But this was before the start of the reform, as I understand it?

Weird. but there is an answer, why is there such an attitude towards small currency and the euro, which they equate to ye.
аватар ef_torik
In one shek, the waiter told us that small currency would be withdrawn from circulation, I don’t know how true this is.
I heard from a Russian tourist that the euro is taken at a rate significantly higher than the dollar .. almost 80 rupees .. and also in hundreds of bills, I don’t know how true this is. for how much, they themselves did not change and did not ask

Yes, I also knew that in India there are 100 and, moreover, that the banknote was of a new type (this was also very important) are valued much higher. But when relaxing in November-December 2016 in the neck, they simply paid with a small dollar at the normal rate (there was a catastrophic shortage of cash rupees, there were few visitors, and they went all out if the client didn’t go to the next shake), and we were given either rupees for change, or again dollars. When asked why the rate is different from the face value, the owner of the neck answered that dollars as such are not in use with them and it is easier to accumulate large bills as savings. Well, when asked about the old-new ones, he answered that these are already local zabubons, as tourists go and carry different currencies, but again, they prefer brand new ones for storage. But this is the version voiced to us, but what is really there. I doubt that in a separate country, but with an influx of tourists from all over the world, they can just take it and ban the circulation of foreign currency, which is accepted all over the world.

I think it's more convenient for them to stack and store hundreds. To withdraw small money from foreign countries, no one has the right there. The cooler the person, the more likely it is that he will take both, but prefer large ones. They are easier to store and hide.)

I do not really understand why not to take small bills. I was in GOA in January-February 2017. Small dollar bills came in handy. Sometimes I paid for a tour, when I hired a taxi for a large company, they were also dumped in small bills. In recent days, I didn’t have enough rupees, so I changed a small amount, the exchange rate was normal, you just have to bargain!!!

I also went in January 2017. $ 100 bills and new ones are of course more profitable to change! But this is not so catastrophic if you change and take small amounts. Lose 2 rubles per buck if you change, for example, 50-100 rubles .. well, I think it’s not a disaster)) And so, of course, we’re going to fly again one of these days and take new $ 100 bills and it’s profitable for us and they are pleased)))
