I think some clarification might be in order. Changing money "on the street" is not the same as ducking into a small shack or what could b called a "kiosk". Anyone who is legitimately changing money for you will give you a calculator print out of your exchange. In my experience, this is expected and they do it authomatically. If they do not.......say no thank you, or proceed with exteme caution.
I have changed money many times "on the street" in the sense of a shack or kiosk and gotten reasonably good rates. The term "on the street" might mislead people and drive them back to their hotel which would give them a much lover exchange rate than they would otherwise get.
