Hi,

Greetings can be exchanged as in "Greetings were exchanged after the victory" , but what about hand shakes and high fives ? Can they be exchanged too ? Yes.

Which is the most appropriate verb to use ?

'Exchanged' is OK.

If you want to be pretty casual, you could say 'swapped'.

Or you could reword it as eg

They shook hands.
