travel money providers in France normally limit the maximum amount of foreign currency to be purchased (JPYs, etc.) to between 3,000 and 6,000 euros per calendar quarter.

To know how foreign exchange works, think of any retail store that sells a product to you as a consumer. The provider buys merchandise from a supplier known as wholesaler at a purchase price, to which it adds a profit margin.

The difference between the final price at which the consumer buys in that store (eg your Japan yens) and what it cost the business to acquire those Japan yens is the benefit it obtains in that foreign exchange.

Nevertheless there is a distinction in currency exchange with other businesses. On balance, foreign currency banknotes (Japan yens in this case) pass on from consumer to consumer, that is, they are not consumed.

Therefore, it may be the case that a bank or a currency provider acquires Japan yens from a tourist travelling to France (earning a profit) and those same Japan yens become yours when you purchase that currency (new profit margin).

In general, we suggest you to buy your foreign currency in safe places and where they do not charge you a commission, in addition to an exchange margin. Practically all French banks and some physical currency suppliers will impose on you a currency exchange commission of around 3 per cent, with a minimum (whichever is higher), of 6 to 10 euros.

This means that if you exchange one hundred € to yens JPY, as well as an exchange margin, you will be charged a fixed fee of of 6 to 10 euros, since it is a higher quantity than the 3 euros fee that would correspond to applying 3% to 100 euros. If you change six hundred euros to yens JPY, they would charge you a 3% fee. That is eighteen euros, which is greater than the minimum of of 6 to 10 euros.

Generally speaking, if you change yens at a bank office, they will already know you and you will only have to identify yourself as a client of your bank.

When you change yens at a travel money supplier´s store, on the street or at the airport, you will need to provide an updated and valid ID card (passport or resident´s identity card called carte nationale d´identité in France). Take into account that your driver's ID is not accepted as a valid document when changing Euros to yens.

Upon return to France, you can exchange your exceeding currency, only notes not coins, (JPYs in this case) at your bank or your closest holiday money provider.
