Yes, I'm originally from Erfurt, Germany :flag-de:, but I'm right now on a two-week holiday in Malta, so I changed my location.

they will also be closed on Saturday, 22nd March.

Banks in Malta open on Saturdays too, except for Easter Saturday.

I guess you have to make do with the ATM's until Monday 24th.

And be sure to take some bundles of notes back to Europe's main land to make it easier for us to get Maltese hits!!
Well, I'm back home. I brought exactly 912 :note-5: bills to mainland Europe. The first 41 of those bills were spent/changed at the airport in Frankfurt, a further 60 were changed on the way home.

Here are my final Maltese stats:

Notes entered: 5038 (+62 by other users)
Hits: 1 (+1 by Crossmaster)
Total value: 70920 €
Avg. value: 14,08 €

Distribution of notes:
:note-5: 2272
:note-10: 1600
:note-20: 593
:note-50: 536
:note-100: 34
:note-500: 3

Locations tracked: 31

Top 10 locations by number of bills:
1. Paola: 849
2. Victoria: 697
3. Valletta: 602
4. Floriana: 499
5. Qormi: 458
6. Mellieha: 441
7. Sliema: 411
8. Bugibba: 311
9. Santa Venera: 277
10. Birkirkara: 227

Good luck to everybody in finding my bills. I don't want to keep a 5038:1 hit ratio for long... :wink:

I'd like to hear about it..
I have never tried going to a bank to exchange notes even though I have an account there... I do want to try eventually but I'd love to hear of others' experiences first.

Meanwhile there has been another nice hit in Malta! Congrats to ewri and Sharatan3

I went to a total of 36 branches of the Bank of Valletta, HSBC and APS Bank while I was in Malta. In 34 branches the cashier changed money for me without asking any questions.
Two times (HSBC in Sliema, BOV in Birkirkara) I was asked whether I had an account with the bank.
In the Sliema HSBC I said that I was a tourist, and the cashier then changed money anyway.
In the Birkirkara BOV the cashier said that he could change money only for customers, but he offered me the possibility of opening a short-term current account, which I declined.
Overall I was very impressed by the service and the willingness to help from Maltese bank employees. It's quite a contrast to what I experience in Germany. Even at some branches of a bank where I have a current account, an insurance plan and several investments I'm usually asked to provide ID, sign a form or get told to go to another branch when I want to change money.
