How do you read the NBP courses? Practical Guide
The exchange rates published by the NBP appear in three forms and each has different applications. Medium course (mid) is a theoretical course that NBP uses to recommend — it shows the "fair value" of a given currency against gold, but in the canto you will not get exactly this course. The bid rate is the price at which the currency can be purchased from you — It's always lower than average because the cantor has to earn. Sales rate (ask) is the price for which the currency can be sold — always higher than average. The difference between buying and selling is the margin of the cantor, and it's what it makes. When you go to the cantor with euras, you get a purchase course (lower). When you want to buy a euro, you pay the sales rate (higher). In practice: look for a currency with the smallest difference between the two courses — It means a smaller margin and a better offer for your pocket.

# Curiosity of the day
Did you know that Japanese yen is one of the cheapest currencies in relation to gold despite that Japan has one of the world's largest economies? For one yen you will pay only PLN 0.023 today — That's almost half a penny. This is because the currency is divided into 100 dreams, and historically the Japanese currency has never had as high nominal value as the euro or dollar. For tourists travelling to Japan, however, this means that prices in yen always look impressive — The four-digit sum is the norm, but in terms of gold, it's perfectly reasonable.
