Never show how much money you have. And don't put all money in one place. Leave a Comment

Check your money in your country, you cannot get roubles out of Russia. Count your money as you have to declare all your money at the customs. Leave a Comment

Before we went to Moscow there was much debate at work as to whether you needed to take cash dollars, or euros, or whether Sterling would be OK. Honestly, I never understand why people get so worked up about this kind of thing. Maybe there is some kudos to be had in making out you're going to a place that is so backward that they've never heard of debit cards. Or maybe there's some fear that for some bizarre reason US dollars will be the only currency anyone wants. Well, this might have been the case in Russia 30 years ago, but trust me, withdrawing rubles from an ATM with a Visa debit card and using them to buy stuff is no problem at all... Leave a Comment

If you want to get the best rate for your money - bring cash! Nearly all exchange offices change USD or EUR. The following most acceptable currency is GBP, then CHF, JPY. There is lots of competition on changing money, so check the best rate from http://www.rbc.ru/cash/ (only in Russian) and head directly to the office to change - please note that the rates change constantly and sometimes I have not received the rate quoted few hours later – minimum sum to change may apply. The EUR has now in many places similar buy/sell spread than USD, so if you live in euro zone (or have cash in EUR) take EUR, not USD if you need to change in your own country as the buy/sell spread bigger in west than in Russia and usually a commission levied unlike in Russia. Unlike before I have not had show my passport (October 2004) to change money and you may not been given receipt if you do not specifically ask. Again bring only pristine condition banknotes and without any writing (which is common in GBP). Leave a Comment
