First, I'll exchange the Taiwanese dollars I brought.
Please place the New Taiwan Dollar on the tray and hand it over to the staff member.
Once you have delivered it, please prepare the amount in Korean won according to the exchange Excel sheet inside the counter.
They also give you a receipt, so you can double-check it for sure.
I also tried exchanging Hong Kong dollars in the same way.
Place the money in the tray and hand it to the staff member, who will assist you with the exchange.
Receive the receipt and Korean Won, and check the exchange details. Then I tried exchanging dollars as well.
Likewise, put as many dollars as you want in the tray and hand it to the staff member.
It was quickly exchanged to won.
Check the receipt to make sure the exchange was done correctly.
