The following is from Praque Post newspaper: WHAT TO WATCH FOR • Most rates posted outside are for selling crowns, whereas most customers are tourists who are buying crowns • Boards inside must post all rates, but watch for the small print. The best rates apply only to large transactions • Some offices hand you a map with your cash. It's not free. Return it and ask for your money back • Changing euros to U.S. dollars involves two transactions: any foreign currency must first be converted to crowns, then is converted to another foreign currency • Applying the U.S. dollar rate to a euro transaction, which can cost travelers 20 percent more
