Despite them being a EU member state, they don't use Euro as their official currency. Since they have their own currency being the Zloty which is considered stable, but even if you have Euros or US Dollars for converting to Zloty: does purchasing power hold up since both Euro & US Dollar possesses a higher rate? I figure that Warsaw will be expensive due to it being the capital, so that is expected.

 

Apparently in Japan, their Apple Stores just display all their devices without any security tags on them since it’s built within a trust system where an individual is expected to not shoplift (due to shaming culture) as public face and reputation matters to them along with heaps of CCTV and stricter laws. However, try doing the same thing in New York or Seattle and see what happens…

 

I may travel to Canada in the future, but these are the currencies I have:

  • Kuwaiti Dinar (1 KD = C$4.50)
  • Omani Rial (1 RO = C$3.60)

So, they are worth more in face value. The question is: will money changers in Canada accept or recognize them on directly converting to CAD despite these currencies being uncommon? Also will I really be allowed to bring either 5000 RO (C$18,100) or 2000 KD (C$9,025) in cash?
