The larger the note the greater the value, but old notes are hard to tell apart. Coins are 1, 2 & 5 Rupees. These exchange rates were correct at the time of writing, but they do fluctuate.

Australian Dollar 01 = 75.53 Rupees Japanese Yan 10 = 8.16 Rupees

Don’t queue at the airport bank, change money in the hotel and don’t accept torn notes, as shops will reject them. Keep receipts, to reconvert remainder on departure. Only exchange at official counters.

Small change (less than Ngultrum 100) is handy for taxis, tips, etc. Beware of TORN notes as locals will not accept them. Some notes may have a few holes in the centre which is OK, but torn edges are not. All exchanges must be done at an official exchange counter such as banks and major hotel desks.
