Buying forints
We accept Hungarian forint banknotes of all denominations and series — the condition of each note is assessed by the cashier on site. New and well-preserved banknotes are valued at the full rate; for heavily worn, stained or damaged notes, the valuation may be adjusted individually after inspection. Show your notes at the counter — we'll check them quickly in front of you.
