Earlier on it was around 5.07 to 5.08, depending on which one you went to, but it's dropped to around 5.04 now

We flip around between 3 or 4 money exchanges, for that reason. Some are down for one reason or another just when we need them.

As a rough guide, the exchange shops in Kyrenia district usually operate on a margin of 2 to 3 Kuruş at most. The Banks normally go for 5 Kuruş or more...

So if the centre rate quoted on say, XE.com is 5.12, then you can expect to get in the region of 5.09 to 5.10 from an exchange shop, and around 5.05 to 5.07 from a Bank.
