3. Exchange your remaining cash
If you are left with a huge amount of foreign currency at the end of your trip, then it's better to encash them from banks. Most people use the remaining cash at the duty-free stores in the airport. But the best way is to either exchange it in the bank after you come back or use it for cab fares and exit fares. Use the Forex card to pay your hotel bills and at shopping stores.
