When converting currency, you'll generally get the best rate if you're selling the local currency. For example, I live in the US. If I were to visit, say, Hong Kong, I'd get the best exchange rates if I bought HK$ in the US and US$ in HK. Even better, in most circumstances, is to avoid cash currency whenever possible in favor of using a credit card, where you generally get the best exchange rate, but the card might sock you with conversion charges, so you must be careful.
