Burmese Kyat


A stack of cash from the currency-exchange counter on arrival in Myanmar.  Total value is US$250.

For unknown reasons, the central bank hasn't issued sufficient large-denomination notes to cover demand.  Most transactions are made with 1000 kyat notes, worth $1.13 each.  Purchasing anything of value requires many of these notes.
