Ask your hotel where the real authorized money changers are!
Nearly all the money changers will use slight of hand tricks and distraction to STEAL your money! Make sure you count your money BEFORE you leave. Of course, if your find the amount is not correct they'll just play dumb, or say that it's their commission rate.
If you are brave enough, leave the shop, then come back a few minutes later and demand your money or you'll call the police. It's the only way you'll get the full rate which they post. Otherwise, play it safe and go to an authorized money exchange at a slightly lower rate.
