kyat

Never hand over your money until you've received the kyat and counted them.

I rarely spent more than 10 kyat each for a single meal.

Every so often the driver stopped to pay a toll of a few kyat.

An American dollar is worth about 6.6 kyat at official rates, and six or seven times that amount on the black market.

I've read on this forum that the best place to change your crisp dollars for kyat is at the airport.

We exchanged $300 into kyat for just over two weeks and it was the perfect amount for us.

A handful of dollar bills and some grubby kyat notes.

The value of other metal currencies vis-a-vis the silver kyat are shown below.

The kyat became worthless at the end of the war when the rupee was reintroduced.

Decimalization also took place, with the kyat subdivided into 100 pya.

Other weight-based units in relation to the kyat were also in use.

This results in words like "cat" being pronounced more like "kyat."

Large inflow of capital results in stronger Burmese currency, kyat by about 25%.

When I landed the counter at the airport offered a standard rate of 800 Kyat for a dollar.

You can also buy black-market kyat (Burmese currency) here at favourable rates.

The kyat was a denomination of both silver and gold coinages in Burma until 1889.

The chinthe is featured prominently on the kyat, the currency of Burma.

These places usually accept kyat, but at a slightly disadvantageous rate (perhaps a difference of K50 or K100 to the dollar).

On closer inspection I realised they were sewn-up sacks stuffed with kyat, the local currency.

This kyat was subdivided into 100 cents.

The firm has provided affected villagers with two storey houses, 21 in televisions and a 100,000 Burmese kyat compensation.

The national currency is the kyat.

A few upmarket hotels can take credit cards; every other business (restaurants, local transport, shops) will require kyat.

You cannot exchange kyat outside Burma.

I changed AmEx checks there on a Sunday no less; your choice of dollars or kyat in cash.
