How it works
Exchange booths in the Skopje city center and near the Central Bus Station shortchange tourists using fast-count techniques. North Macedonia's denar (MKD) uses a fixed exchange rate to the euro (approximately 61 MKD per euro), making shortchanging easy when tourists are unfamiliar with the denomination sizes.
