Currency exchange and ATMs
There are about 20 ATMs and 6 exchange offices in Akademgorodok. The ATMs work with Visa, Mastercard and some other popular credit cards. US dollars and Euros can be easily exchanged into Russian roubles, while the other currencies are useless in Akademgorodok.
Approximate exchange rates are the following: 1 USD = 31...32 RUR, 1 EUR = 44...45 RUR. If you want to change cash into Roubles, please bring only new money, having no defects, scratches, ink or other marks, holes, ultraviolet defects, etc. Otherwise a bank may refuse to change your money or offer you a reduced rate (usually about 90-92% of the original rate). Never change money illegally at streets; your profit will be tiny but you may be cheated!
