Banks are done for the day. Need small notes for vendor water later. Supermarket cashback or hotel desk exchange more realistic Sunday afternoon.

Supermarket cashback on a small purchase often works when ATMs are ugly and banks are closed. Hotel desks may break larger notes for guests — ask politely with a purchase or dinner booking attached.

Vendors hate huge notes at night. Break money now while shops are still calm.

Same afternoon run as water bottles — leave the curb with small notes already in a front pocket.
