Can I take dirhams in or out of Morocco?
The dirham is a closed currency: buy it in Morocco and change what's left back before you leave, at a bank or bureau, keeping your exchange receipts. Foreign currency worth 100,000 MAD or more must be declared on arrival and departure (gov.uk).
Taking dirham notes out is limited; secondary sources give 2,000 MAD, which we haven't confirmed on an official site yet.

Leftover dirhams that no bank at home will change.
