What you need to know about the currency Sri Lanka Rupee
The official currency of Sri Lanka is the Sri Lankan rupee, also known as the Sri Lankan rupee, which replaced the British pound. Its ISO code is LKR and its abbreviation is Rs. One rupee is divided into 100 cents and the issuing authority is the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.
Currently, Sri Lankan banknotes of 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000, and 2000 rupees are in circulation. The latter were added in 2006 due to the low value of the currency in the markets. All Sri Lankan banknotes are printed vertically on one side.
The latest currencies of Sri Lanka put into circulation are from the year 2005, with denominations of 25 and 50 cents and 1, 2, and 5 rupees. Four years later, in 2009, the 10 rupee currency was introduced. On the obverse of all of them, the coat of arms of the country is represented.
The banknotes of Sri Lanka feature very bright colours. The 10 and 1000 rupee banknotes are green, while the 20 rupee banknotes are purple. The 50 rupee banknote is blue and the 100 rupee banknote is orange. The 500 rupee banknote is salmon and pink.
Foreign currencies circulated on the island due to the occupations and colonisations by Europeans. Sri Lanka is known for its famous export plantations of cinnamon, rubber, and Ceylon tea.

What is the best exchange rate from Australian dollars to Sri Lankan Rupee?

Will I be charged a commission for changing my Australian dollars into Sri Lankan Rupee?
No, Global Exchange does not charge any commissions or fees for exchanging Australian dollars to Sri Lankan Rupees. All transactions (at the offices or online) worth AUD 1,000 or above are fee-free. We only have a small margin, which is lower when you change your currency online than when you change it in person at the airport.
Do I get the same Australian dollar to Sri Lankan Rupee exchange rate in this website or in any of your offices?
No, the Australian dollar to Sri Lankan Rupees exchange rate that applies to orders placed on the Global Exchange website in Australia is more advantageous to you than at the airport offices.

As well as getting the best exchange rate for your online exchange (more travel cash for the same price), this service saves you time and reduces anxiety, as you'll have the currency you need ready for your trip abroad.
Why does the Australian dollar to Sri Lankan Rupee exchange rate seem cheaper and more attractive in the Internet than in exchange businesses?
The Sri Lankan Rupee exchange rates shown in Internet currency converters are for currency wholesalers (foreign exchange transactions for financial and international trade companies), not for the public. Those cheaper rates are for the foreign exchange, not for currency exchange operations in cash.
What is the difference between foreign exchange and currency exchange?
Foreign exchange (Forex, for short) is the market that establishes the value of the currencies in which international transactions will be performed, at a wholesale level. Currency exchange, on the other hand, is the market in which individual currencies are sold in retail on a certain price depending on demand. Currency exchange entails cash transactions, thus adding logistic costs, and therefore their exchange rates are somewhat “worse” than the Forex rates, which only move money between accounts.
What is the difference of changing my Australian dollars to Sri Lankan Rupees with you or at a bank?
Banks charge margins and commissions, and you will have to go twice: to order the money and to pick it up. At Global Exchange you can place your foreign currency order online and pick up your foreign currency order at the airport before boarding.
