All quote within a few piastres of one another, since each works to the official market rate under central bank supervision. Each bank sets daily limits on foreign currency withdrawals, and those limits change from time to time. It is worth asking in advance before planning any large transaction. Keep receipts from currency transactions, particularly when travelling. They may be required when converting an amount back or proving the source of the currency. When withdrawing or depositing in a foreign currency, ask about fees and commissions as well as the headline rate — they can change the final cost more than the rate itself.
