Money in Sri Lanka
Tell me what is better to take the euro or the dollar (or whatever). And another question on the topic of money - how are things going with payment systems, are there any problems with cash withdrawals?

Personally, I would advise you to take a "pot" of bucks in your pocket and no plastic FF.

It is recommended to change money at the airport, then if they take it, then at an unfavorable rate.
The rest of the rupees can be handed over on departure, all at the same airport.

They also issued a 1000 rupee note, but it differs from the one shown in the link above...
"To commemorate the victory in the 37-year war with the separatist movement "Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam".
The reverse of the banknote depicts soldiers of the security forces raising the national flag in the center. The first commemorative banknote was issued by the Sri Lankan Central Bank to the President of Sri Lanka, Mahinda Rajapaksa."

I took the minimum amount in dollars, and the rest was on the card. Without any problems, it was possible to withdraw money in local currency from a Sberbank card with a minimum commission. On the exchange of rubles-dollars-rupees, I think the loss would be a little more. The only thing is that it is better to pay with a card only in large stores. My husband paid with an Alfa Bank card in a small shop in Kandy and we started losing money from the card, we had to block it. In Russia, after considering the claim, everything was returned, but only after 3 months.
