How do you read the NBP courses? Practical Guide
The average rate (mid) is the average price of the valour presented by the National Bank of Poland — It is this course that most often appears in the media and provides the basis for comparisons. However, when you go to a currency exchange or send a foreign transfer, you meet with two other courses: a bid and an ask. The purchase rate is the price at which the currency is purchased from you (you are selling) and the sales rate is the price at which the currency is sold to you (you are buying). The difference between these two courses is the exchange markup — his earnings for carrying out the transaction. The smaller the difference, the better for your pocket. Remember: NBP courses are official bank quotes, but individual cantors can offer a better or worse course, so it is always worth comparing offers before exchanging more.

# Curiosity of the day
Did you know that Japanese yen (JPY), whose current rate is 0.023083 PLN, is one of the most trusted currencies in the world? In times of financial crisis, investors worldwide "flee" to the yen due to the stability of the Japanese economy and the lack of inflation — Like the Swiss franc. Japan is the world's third largest economy and the yen is one of the three main reserve currencies, alongside the dollar and the euro. For tourists visiting Japan, it is worth knowing that the currency is divided into sleep (100 sleeps = 1 yen), and virtually all daily transactions take place in yen, regardless of their denomination.
