I may travel to Canada in the future, but these are the currencies I have:

  • Kuwaiti Dinar (1 KD = C$4.50)
  • Omani Rial (1 RO = C$3.60)

So, they are worth more in face value. The question is: will money changers in Canada accept or recognize them on directly converting to CAD despite these currencies being uncommon? Also will I really be allowed to bring either 5000 RO (C$18,100) or 2000 KD (C$9,025) in cash?

Banks don’t care about “rare” cash. If you’re using conversion kiosks at the airport it’s even less.

You need to report large sums of cash with customs
