Smart Tips for Exchanging Qatari Riyal
Compare exchange rates before selling QAR
Always check rates from multiple exchangers or banks to find the best QAR to AUD (or other currency) rate. Even a small difference can make a noticeable impact, especially with larger amounts.
Avoid airport and hotel exchange desks
These locations usually offer weaker QAR rates and higher margins. Planning ahead helps you avoid losing value at last-minute counters.
Choose providers with no hidden fees
Look for clear, upfront pricing. A good QAR rate isn’t helpful if service charges or commissions reduce what you actually receive.
Sell during favorable market movements
QAR exchange rates can fluctuate due to market and regional factors. If you’re not in a hurry, keep an eye on trends and exchange when conditions are more favorable.
Use trusted, well-reviewed money exchangers
Stick to licensed and reputable providers. Strong reviews and a solid reputation help ensure accurate counting, fair rates, and a safe transaction.
Limits & Restrictions
Minimum Amounts
There is no minimum amount when selling Qatari Riyal (QAR). Whether you have a small amount or a larger sum, we’re happy to exchange it.
Maximum Amounts
We can handle large QAR transactions. For higher-value exchanges, we may request valid ID, conduct a brief source-of-funds check, or ask for a short wait while your payout is prepared. This is standard practice for licensed and regulated money exchangers in Australia.
Selling QAR Worth $10,000 AUD or More
If your QAR exchange is $10,000 AUD equivalent or above, please bring valid identification and allow extra time for compliance checks.
To ensure smooth processing, calling ahead to confirm cash availability is recommended. For larger payouts, bank transfer or PayID is often the fastest and safest option.

Where to Sell Qatari Riyal in Australia
Selling Qatari Riyal (QAR) in Australia is quick, safe, and straightforward with Danesh Exchange. Follow these simple options to get the best value for your currency.
If you’re wondering where to sell QAR in Australia, you generally have three main options:
Banks
Some banks may accept Qatari Riyal (QAR), but they are rarely the most cost-effective option.
Buy-back rates are often poor, processing can be slow, and additional service or handling fees may apply.
While banks feel familiar, they usually do not offer competitive QAR-to-AUD rates,
especially for cash exchanges.
Specialist Currency Exchange Providers
Specialist exchangers like Danesh Exchange are often the best choice for selling QAR.
They offer:
- Competitive QAR exchange rates
- No hidden fees or commissions
- Fast, friendly service
- Reliable availability for both small and large amounts
Whether you’re selling a small bundle of notes or a higher-value amount,
Danesh Exchange makes it simple to sell Qatari Riyal in Australia at a fair price.
Airport Kiosks
Airport exchange counters may accept foreign currency, but QAR is often exchanged at very poor rates.
Even when accepted, airport kiosks typically apply high margins, meaning you receive far less AUD than
you would at a specialist exchanger. While convenient, airports are not recommended
for selling Qatari Riyal.


What Qatari Riyal Notes We Accept
The Qatari Riyal (QAR) is the official currency of Qatar and is used for all everyday transactions across the country.
While QAR is primarily used within Qatar, it is commonly exchanged by travellers, expatriates, and businesses dealing with the Middle East. Outside Qatar, QAR is typically exchanged through specialist currency exchangers rather than banks.
Locally, the currency is often simply referred to as the “Riyal.”
QAR Banknote Denominations
Qatari Riyal banknotes currently in circulation include:
1, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 riyals
Keeping your QAR notes sorted by denomination helps ensure faster counting and smoother transactions, especially when exchanging larger amounts or visiting busy exchange counters.
Old and damaged banknotes
We only accept Qatari Riyal banknotes that are currently in circulation. Notes that are too old, heavily damaged, or discontinued may not be accepted. Our team will assess them on the spot and guide you on the best next steps.
