Currency
Is it possible in Sri Lanka to pay for goods and services in cash dollars, and not in local currency.
Where and how best to change currency. Is there a significant difference in the exchange rate depending on the denomination of the bill.

I don't agree here. In all of history, I have only seen dollars taken for tickets to the cultural triangle, and in one cafe in Maraville they hardly agreed. The stores completely refused to take dollars, only in the national currency (maybe they have some kind of law about this). In Pinnawala, no one wanted to take souvenirs either. Fortunately, there are a lot of exchangers. All prices are listed on the item.

The monetary unit in Sri Lanka is the rupee. Everyone recommends changing the currency at the airport, although we changed it at another bank, since they are located at every turn. If you are still lucky and you will pay for purchases in dollars, then keep in mind that in this case the price is rounded up.

Well, do not forget about the opportunity not to bother with cash and singe with a card - in most relatively civilized places they are accepted

Thanks everyone for the tips. Is the card really accepted everywhere? I had a case in Bali when in an ordinary, and rather large store, they did not accept a card for payment.

In all the hotels where I was - accepted. There were also exchangers there - I didn’t bother with the exchange rate - it’s not such a waste to go to some bank because of 200 rubles.
At the factory of decorations, cards were also accepted.
In the jewelry shop on the oceanfront, they also took a card.
The shop for the production of clothes did not accept the card - they didn’t even have a calculator - they said that when there was a tsunami, the calculator was washed away into the sea.
It is better to go there with dollars - the euro is not in honor.
