Question 1

What is the "Currency Exchange Short-Changing" scam in Novi Sad?

Accepted Answer

Non-bank currency exchange booths in Novi Sad tourist areas sometimes offer attractive display rates but apply undisclosed commissions or use fast-count techniques to short-change tourists who do not carefully count their Serbian dinars. Use bank ATMs for cash withdrawals wherever possible. At exchange offices, ask the exact amount you will receive before handing over money and count notes carefully before walking away from the counter.
