The Lari is the currency of Georgia. One Lari is divided into 100 tetri. Currently, banknotes of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 lari are in circulation. 100 and 200 bills are harder to spend except in bigger supermarkets so try to break these if you can.

Exchanging Money
You can exchange US dollars, Euro, Russian rubles in banks and exchange shops and banks. You can also change GBP but not all places change GBP or if they do they may offer a poor exchange rate. Exchange shops usually have a better rate than the banks. We can advise the best place to change GBP.
Can I take money out of the bank?
You can use an international bank card (eg. Visa) to take money out of an ATM for a small commission charge. You will receive money in Georgian lari. Different banks have different commission rates so it’s a good idea to check this with your bank before you come.
Banks are usually open on weekdays from 9:00-9:30 until 17:30
