The official currency in Morocco is the Dirham (DH), divided into 100 centimes. The money
1 dirham = 0,10 Euro
1 Euro = 10,10 dirhams .
The notes are: 200 DH, 100 DH, 50 DH and 20 DH. The currencies currently in use are: 10 DH, 5 DH, 1 DH, 0.50 DH, 0.05 DH.
It's important to remember that the Dirham can't be imported or exported. You must change all your money into a different currencu before leaving Morocco. It's not advisable to exchange it on the street; in fact, it's illegal. You'd be better off going to one of the local exchange points, that are authorized by the state. You can also change your remaining Dirhams here back into the original currency before you leave. If you are using traveller's cheques, remember that most of the banks will recieve about one euro commision per cheque.
