There are quite a few currencies that the banks will not exchange at the moment. No doubt the number will increase as those countries economies move from inflation to deflation and then full blown depression.

With the crisis in Gaza the region is quite nervous add to that the global economic crisis, the banks are not in a panic but they are being ultra cautious. Also, the slow internet issue has sparked off a lot of conspiracy theories. But the coincidence of banks being careful, stopping currency exchange, the military build up 1,500 klms away from here, and communications being a problem is worth considering. Not all banks have reacted yet but my sources indicate:-

CURRENCY BUY / SELL

Bangladesh Taka 0.000000

Algerian Dinar 0.000000

Egyptian Pound 0.000000

Jordanian Dinar 0.000000

Lebanese Lira 0.000000

Srilankan Rupee 0.000000

Nepalese Rupee 0.000000

Philippine Peso 0.000000

Pakistan Rupee 0.000000

Syrian Lira 0.000000

Yemeni Riyal 0.000000

In Ermita there are a lot of Money Exchange where QR is accepted. You also go to Harrizon Plaza. There is a Money Exchange there, and also at Robinsons'. All those places I tried before and I had my QR exchanged to peso.

Be careful, though, and count your money before leaving the counter.

SM-Malls and Banks in the Philippines are NOT buying Qatari Riyals...I tried it myself, they only accept Saudi Riyals.

You can sell it at any Money Changers, just be careful! Have your "common sense" functions properly.. before, during and after selling. Get my point?
