Which currency should I use to exchange for Euros upon travel? - Lemmy.World

I have either Kuwaiti Dinar (1 KD = 2,83€) or Omani Rial (1 OMR = 2,25€) in which both are of high value. However will money changers in Europe accept that trading for Euros. For example: the highest bill from Oman is 50 Rials (112€), the highest from Kuwait is 20 KD (56€). Of course, currencies from the Gulf States are petro states (like Kuwait) have higher exchange rates. I mean, should I bring those currencies into Europe or convert them in the Middle East (for USD) prior to travel? Also, will I be able to bring 6000 KD (16,960€) in cash?

There’s not a lot of places accepting those currencies. Either take a European currency or US$.

But better to not take cash at all, especially that much. You have to declare it etc. Just pay by card and use ATMs if you really need cash.
