However, if it is prohibited on paper, in practice, tourists often export coins or bills – customs officers, as a rule, close their eyes to a similar "smuggling".
In a number of states there are restrictions on the transit of local currency. In Brazil, a license of the Central Bank of Brazil is needed to export a national currency. From Cuba You can not bring more than 100 Cuban Peso (3314 rubles.). From Egypt is allowed to export no more than 5000 Egypt pounds (24 000 rubles.).
Export of foreign currency
From a number of countries will be difficult to leave with a large amount without much resolution. For example, when exporting over $ 2000 from India requires documents confirming the legal origin of this money. And if you leave Brazil with the amount of more than $ 4000 per person, the resolution of the Central Bank of Brazil is required.
This rule is valid for all countries of the world: when you return from the country, the amount specified in the declaration should not be greater than at the entrance, otherwise it is not to avoid unpleasant proceedings with customs. So if during the trip you won the lottery, found a treasure, received a cash gift, took a loan in the bank, took a borrowed blood savings from a friend – will have to collect documents confirming the legality of obtaining funds.
