All quote within a few piastres of one another, since each works to the official market rate under central bank supervision. Watching the rate over several days before executing a large transaction beats acting immediately. A small difference in rate compounds with the size of the amount. Keep receipts from currency transactions, particularly when travelling. They may be required when converting an amount back or proving the source of the currency. It helps to distinguish the cash buying rate from the transfer rate. They can differ slightly at some banks, reflecting the different cost of handling each.
