Oops - brought back Algerian Dinars I can’t change
So, if anyone was to do something ridiculous like plan a trip to Algeria, let me know because I’ve accidentally brought back about £100 of local currency ????*♀️

What rate did you buy at out of interest?

If all else fails you can donate it to charity.

The rate I got wasn’t fantastic as I had the “pleasure” of a police escort for the first 24 hours or so. Kinda made it awkward to get money changed on the street and I ended up at the bank.
I got about 146 to the Euro. |
Ouch, not so good.
Afaict, the 'black market' in Alg is hardly clandestine, sold openly at the airport and with rate fluctuations discussed in the national press. I bet if you had asked a cop he'd have directed you to a place (jewellers, phone shops, ask around) or done it for himself. But first time in Alg that might feel a bit sketchy ;-) If anyone needs a place for 250/€ near Oran port, PM me or Ed Gill who found it. As it's OK with Ed, I can add that the Google map embedded on this page IDs the spot - it's where the route to Tindouf starts |

I have the guys number if anyone is heading via Oran and wants to arrange to meet him, to save time. DM me if you’d like it. |

Somebody should set up an adventure motorcyclists travel exchange where people can buy and sell surplus currency.
