How it works
Unlicensed street money changers operating near the entrance to the souks off Derb Dabachi and around the post office on Avenue Mohammed V offer exchange rates slightly above official bureau rates to attract tourists. They count notes quickly, fold bills, or palm cash during the transaction, leaving tourists 100–300 MAD short. Some use sleight of hand to swap a high-denomination note for a lower one before handing the stack back.
