What currency is used in Andorra? What money do I need in Qatar?
It's generally a good idea to exchange money at official places like e.g. a bank or your hotel. You should also keep your exchange receipts with you (which is why you need an official place for money exchange). It can happen that you are controlled by officials and need to prove the origin of your cash.
Exchanging money on the streets could also mean becoming victom of a crime. Not necessarily a robbery, but you may get fake money (well, which is essential like robbery ... just no violence). It would be a shame to loose your holiday cash for the chance of a better exchange rate.
Some countries are more strict than others. Also check, if the amount of money you want to bring into the country requires declaration at customs upon arrival or departure or not.
