How do you read the NBP courses? Practical Guide
When you read the NBP exchange rate table, you will meet three types of odds: medium (mid), bid (bid) and sales (ask). The average rate is the theoretical value of the currency, calculated by NBP as a benchmark — This is exactly the course you will see in articles and news services. When you go to a exchange office or make a foreign transfer, the exchange office will buy currency from you at the bid rate, which is always below the average rate — That's the price you'll get. At the same time, when you want to buy a foreign currency, you will pay the sales rate (ask) which is always above the average rate — That's the price you have to pay. The difference between the purchase rate and the sale rate is the margin of the exchange, which is its profit for intermediation in exchange.

# Curiosity of the day
Common currency of the European Union — euro — comes from the time when 11 Member States agreed to use the single payment system from 1999. Polish gold does not belong to this group yet, so every day the NBP converts the exchange rates so that Polish entrepreneurs and citizens know what is the exact relationship between the gold and the euro. It is interesting that the exchange rate of the euro vis-à-vis the euro is changing virtually every working day, but in recent years this volatility is much less than the dollar or the pound, which reflects the stability of the euro area economy and the overall reliability of this currency.
