Sri Lankan rupees to exchange

HerveR · 2025-02-08

Hi there, Back from Sri Lanka, we have some local currency left. This could be useful for you. Here’s what I’m offering: 1 x 5000-rupee note 3 x 1000-rupee notes 2 x 500-rupee notes 3 x 100-rupee notes 2 x 50-rupee notes 6 x 20-rupee notes That’s a total of 9520 Sri Lankan rupees, or 31 €. This way, you can start your trip without having to withdraw money right away at the airport and without paying any fees. For reference, here are some typical costs: Bottle of water: 130–160 Rs, tuk-tuk ride: 100–500 Rs, bus trip: 50–200 Rs, meal with a drink: 1500–2500 Rs. Possible to send in an envelope.

Hi Hervé,

I’m heading to Sri Lanka in April.

I’m interested in the currency you’re offering.

Is it still available?

Thanks for your reply.

Best regards,

Séverine.

Hi there, Yes, it's possible. I'll message you privately. I just got another request at the same time, so unfortunately there won't be enough for everyone... Thanks

Hi there, I’m posting because I also came back with some Sri Lankan rupees (about 30 €), so if anyone in the Marseille area or the southeast of France in general is interested, feel free to get in touch.
