Maharashtra, being a state of India, has the rupee as
its currency. The money in the state is available in the denomination of
Rs 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1000. Rs 1, 2 and 5 are available
mainly in the form of coins, though occasionally you might find Rs 1, 2
and 5 notes also. Rs 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 are available only in the
form of notes. Plastic money (debit and credit cards) is widely used
throughout Maharashtra.
A large number of foreign tourists visit the state every year. It is
quite obvious that they will require money exchange services. Apart from
airports, they can get their currency exchanged at most of the five star
hotels and banks. Private currency exchangers are also available in all
the big cities of Maharashtra. Keeping the needs of such tourists in
mind, we have provided a list of money exchangers in the major cities of
the state.
