Even if you’re not an avid coin collector, travelers often end up bringing home loose change or extra bills.

But what you may not know is that some countries outlaw this practice.

When traveling to India, make sure to do all your money exchanging while you’re inside the country’s borders because foreigners are not allowed to bring in or take out Indian rupees.

If you’re carrying Israeli currency on you, be careful where you travel.

Israeli shekels are not permitted in several Middle Eastern countries, such as Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

In Morocco, you are forbidden from bringing in or taking out Moroccan Dirhams, so forget about taking some home as a souvenir.

Russia also does not allow the import and export of their rouble, unless you are bringing in travelers’ checks issued by the Russian government.

Before your travel, check with your destination’s consulate for possible currency restrictions.
