No, I can go to the ATM and draw out money over there and it automatically converts it into their currency.
So 3,000 US Dollars = 78,000 Gambian Dallasi
or...
3,000 US Dollars = 1,500,000 CFA (Damn, I was a Millionaire in Senegal!) ...but don't get it twisted, it nearly evens out anyway, like if the price of lunch in America is $5.00 then the price of lunch there would be like $3,000!
...btw, you would be surprised how mixed up tourists and locals both get over the exchange rate. You may be confused and ask a local a question about the exchange rate and they won't know the answer either and just start bullshitting. I've been to Senegal 3 times now and I still feel confused about the exchange rate there sometimes.

Keep posting man, that's some interesting stuff to read. I have a couple of friends who shared first-hand experiences but they're all with at least one African parent so it's cool to get the experiences of a complete outsider (although it's your third time there and all). You get me?
