Don't change too much money at a time

The first time I ventured to change money in Tanzania, I brought 600 U.S. dollars. I was expecting to get some equivalent high denomination bills. Instead, the teller returned a huge wad of cash that did not even fit in my money belt. As soon as I left the bureau de change, I made a bee line for home. Turns out the highest bill there is 10,000 Tanzanian shillings (Tsh), which is roughly equivalent to 8 U.S. dollars. From now on, I generally only change around 100 U.S. dollars at a time.
