Banks and legal money exchangers offer the best exchange rates and protect you from getting counterfeit notes. It's easy to find ATMs (Automatic Teller Machines) in provincial towns.

Every town has its own post office which is open Monday to Friday from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm. For extra services, you can go to the post offices in the provincial capitals which are also open on Saturday from 8.30 to midday.
