Can I use Australian dollars at the Kuala Lumpur airport?
I'm facing a four hour layover at Kuala Lumpur airport on my way to Australia and I was wondering if the food outlets in the airport will accept Australian dollars? I don't particularly want to face the steep commission rates of the bureau to change for a mere cup of coffee.

They did take USD as far as I remember, but not AUD since it would be a hassle for the retailers to keep notes and change for each country in the register. Otherwise just use your credit card, that's what everyone is doing there who does not want to exchange cash.

Is it better to exchange money in Australia or Malaysia?
The rates in Malaysia are much, much better than you'll get in Australia. When the Australian money changers are selling Ringgits at RM2. 60 - RM2. 70 to the AUD you can get them at RM2.Should I exchange money before I travel to Malaysia?
It is best not buy any Malaysian currency until you arrive in Malaysia. The rates offered in Malaysia are ALWAYS BETTER than you could get back home. FOREX booths accept ALL MAJOR currencies. DO remember to bring ONLY bank notes in good overall condition.Are Dollars accepted in Malaysia?
