How to read NBP courses? Practical Guide
When you read the NBP exchange rate tables, you come across three different values: the average rate, the purchase rate and the sales rate. Middle (also called mid) course is a theoretical, middle value — Unofficially speaking, it is the "fair price" of the currency. However, if you go to the exchange office or send a foreign transfer, you will not pay exactly this course. The purchase rate is the amount that the currency exchange offers for your foreign currency — always lower than average. On the other hand, the sale rate is the price you pay by converting gold into foreign currency — always higher than average. The difference between buying and selling is the margin of the cantor, or its profit. Therefore, when you read the NBP courses, remember that the numbers in Table A are orientation, but the actual exchange will take place after the courses from Table C, which are always less beneficial to the ordinary customer.

Currency Trivia of the Day
Did you know that Japanese yen is one of the least exchangeable currencies for ordinary Poles, even though Japan is the world's third largest economy? The reason is that the exchange of yen directly in the Polish cantors is difficult — A lot of cantors don't keep this stuff. Those planning to go to Japan had to historically exchange gold for dollars or euro, and only in Japan did they make a second exchange for yen. Today's exchange rates, however, show an increasing interest in Asian markets and currencies, so the situation is slowly changing, and larger exchange rates are increasingly offering the exchange of yen directly.
