Quote: "JustforFun"As far as India is concerned, the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) states one can take upto USD5000 out of the country in cash while travelling else you have to declare it (and not sure what the procedure is thereafter). So there shouldn't be a problem as such. However, if you were carrying kilos of coins out of the country, it'd probably raise suspicion that you are commercially trading in these coins which technically is illegal.

He told me he was just going to give them to one of the group's managers, who had a small stack of bills left over from other trips, and which could be given to anyone going on future trips. They certainly weren't aware of any rules prohibiting Chinese currency from leaving the country.
Quote: "ciscoins"Hmm, I haven't checked the rules in a while and you are probably right. Indian currency isn't valued elsewhere except in Nepal & Bhutan (maybe Myanmar & Sri Lanka too). So it never ever came up carrying Indian rupees in large quantities whenever i travelled :-)
