Just sold USD @Jounieh (near BDL) for 1990LL
So I will be in Istanbul this weekend, any idea how to exchange $$ to L.L? I am trying to get $$ everyday from ATM's here. But I am being limited to only $150/day :( Still better than nothing!
checkout lebaneselira.org rate is expected to hold until December 20, 2019 when the new lira notes arrive from brazil.
what does that mean is the rate going down or up ? after december 20 ?
Are Lebanese banknotes printed in Brazil (now)?
I found mention that some were printed in Russia and some in Sweden.

$$ to LBP rate should rise since supply of LBP will increase (so $$ will be more rare compared to LBP).

Checkout exchangers at Istiklal Cadessi. The 100,000 LBP being exhanged in Istanbul for 23 USD. They take USD but not LBP.

100,000/23 ~ 4500 LBP for each 1 USD
100 USD there ~ 450,000 LBP

Istanbul needs to impose control, else local exchanges here will make fortunes " illegally" , local exchanges are taking LBP for USD @ 2000 (now) , They buy the 100 USD and give 200,000 LBP. They take the 100 USD Exchange at Istanbul @ 450,000 LBP

Profit for each 100 USD they make 450,000 - 250,000 = 150,000 LBP. Assume they got 1000 USD , 1000× 150,000 = 1,500,000 LBP profit.

can you clarify what do you mean by "They take USD but not LBP. "?
they are only selling LBP , but not buying it? if that's the case, then from where they are getting the LBP paper note from ?
And why do I need to sell my LBP for low $$ if I can sell it in Lebanon for a better rate?

With all due respect and love; what the hell is:

You can go with USD and get 450,000 LBP for the 100 USD , 100,000 LBP there is for 23 USD or 1 USD = 450,000.

Mafia money. Drugs, criminal acts etc.. and even money printed abroad unofficially approved by the government but from same source.
Has anyone tried the Turkish exchange trick yet?
4 days later
I am in Istanbul currently and I tried several exchanges offices in Istiklal, taksim, and the best one offers $1 = 1,400 LBP. And the funny thing is that he has 500,000 LBP maximum ;)

Edit: Global exchange in Turkey changed their pricing. $1 is almost 1,500 LBP now. It was 2,700 LBP before as stated somewhere in the thread few days ago!

Can you exchange LBP for USD or are they only selling their LBP stock?
