Taking money to and from Tunisia?
Off to Tunisia on Sunday, I'm told you can not get money for, and Tunisia. What so is the best way to change?, banks, hotels, cash? Thanks cash machines
English pounds, U.S. Dollars, Euros and are widely accepted at banks, hotels, and the fight against climate change at airports. There really is not one that is better than the other. This is also true that if you want to bring travelers checks. The currency in Tunisia is the Tunisian dinar (TND). Tunisian currency is not fully convertible currency so far, therefore, can only be purchased in Tunisia. Here is some conversion for you: 1TDN = £ 0.39, £ 1 = 2.574TDN 1TDN = € 0.57, € 1 = 1.748TDN 1TDN = $ 0.78, $ 1 = 1.278TDN http://finance.yahoo.com/currency (The exchange rates as of 16:44 GMT on August 27, 2007) The way the money system works is this: 1 Tunisian dinar (TND) = 1000 millimes. Paper money is in denominations of 30, 20, 10 and 5. Coins are in denominations of 5 and 1 TDN, and 500, 100, 50, 20, 10 and 5 millimes. Just a quick note: Tunisia is one of the few places in the world will have a better exchange rate at most hotels that you will at a bank. Keep this in mind when you are changing your money. Travelers checks and credit cards are accepted at some establishments in Tunisia, mainly in tourist areas or urban areas. The Tunisian dinar is not yet a fully coin convertible and Tunisian law prohibits the export or import of banknotes and coins of Tunisia. Tunisian law permits the export of foreign currency was declared when entering Tunisia. Tourists are expected to exchange transactions at banks or dealers and keep receipts for dinars obtained. Under regulations foreign currency, a tourist can reconvert to foreign currency 30 percent of what has been the change in dinars, up to $ 100. The currency declaration on entering Tunisia and obtaining a receipt for dinars purchased thereafter will facilitate the conversion of dinars to your original currency. Keep all receipts of transactions currency for presentation when leaving the country. Now that the government part is over, there are automated teller machines (ATMs) all over Tunisia, mainly in the touristicy, and banks. I personally would not bring travelers checks as they have plenty of time for the process that when you check out because not many people use them. Really only place that are valuable in a bank. And because Tunisia is still a developing country, most places are not set to accept credit or debit cards. You will find that you are only department stores such as Carrefour (Tunisia), and Monoprix, and Magasin General, plus a few major restaurants are equipped to handle them. Most hotels can handle well. Or bring a credit / debit card and use it in the ATM's when you need money. There is a fee ATM use however, and it varies from bank to bank. Above all, the cost is between 1,500 dinars and 2 dinars. Remember, however, also be charged a commission from your bank to have to convert your normal currency into local currency. You will need to check with your bank / card provider know how much credit would that rate. My best suggestion to you is for the amount of money you want and change it little by little when you are in Tunisia. Whichever way you go, please only the necessary cash on you, and the rest in your hotel room. If I can be of further assistance, please contact me.
