Money may be changed at the airport, train stations, in banks, in
major hotels (but offering poor rates), and in the centre of Prague at
numerous exchange offices. Usually Prague banks charge lower fees
(commission around 2 per cent) for currency exchange than bureaux de
change and hotels in the city. Before you hand over your money confirm
the exchange rate and commission charges, as once the transaction is
proceeding it is hard to negotiate a reversal of the transaction. If
someone approaches you on the street and offers you a good exchange
rate you might get counterfeit notes. We highly recommend Xchange on
the corner of Kaprova and Maiselova Streets where you definitely get
the best rate (near the Old Town Square just behind St. Nicholas
Church). Legal tenders – Crown (Kc = Koruna ceska = Czech crown;
CZK) Coins – CZK 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 Banknotes – CZK 100, 200,
500, 1000, 2000, 5000 Czech National Bank – official exchange rates
