Fake money - do not change money with strangers in the streets of PraguesteemCreated with Sketch.

Hello fellow steemians,

Before you make a trip to Prague think twice about how are you going to spend your money purchasing souvenirs or food and drinks in the restaurants. The last thing you want to do is to change money with the strangers in the streets. Like in every big city in the world there are scammers in Prague that will try to cheat you. In this case by giving you Belarusan rubbles that are similar to Czech Crowns but far less in the value. Also be careful when changing money in the exchanges as some of them will charge insane fees. The best and safest way is to use your CC. Please watch another of Janek's episodes on YouTube where he will show you what is going to happen to you when you change money in the streets. This guy is a hero!
