Leaders change from day to day, and a bank rarely leads every currency at once - each currency row on this page links to the full ranking for that currency.
Bank of Abyssinia publishes rates for 18 currencies against the Ethiopian birr, listed in full on this page. A currency the bank does not quote is left out rather than shown as zero - if it is not in the table, that bank does not deal in it.
The published board is set centrally and applies bank-wide, so the rate should be the same at any Bank of Abyssinia branch on a given day. Availability is not: a smaller branch may not hold enough physical foreign currency to fill a large cash exchange, and larger transactions may require identification and supporting documents.
Directly from the exchange rate board Bank of Abyssinia publishes itself, re-read automatically several times a day. Nothing here is estimated and no parallel market rate is included. If the bank has not refreshed its board, this page says so and shows the trading day the figures actually belong to instead of implying they are current.
