W JAKIEJ WALUCIE MAM ZABRAĆ GOTÓWKĘ ?

W większości krajów które odwiedźmy króluje Dolar Amerykański oraz Euro. Należy pamiętać by banknoty były nowe, bez przerwań oraz zagięć. Wymieniając w Polsce w kantorze złotówki na dolary zdecydowanie starajmy się abyśmy otrzymali banknoty 100$ wydrukowane po 2013 roku. Różnią się one znacznie od tych starszych przede wszystkim kolorami i zabezpieczeniami w postaci zatopionej wstążki, hologramów i dużego pionowego nominału na rewersie.
