What’s the fastest way to exchange foreign money?

raweggsandfish asked:


I have some foreign bills, what’s the fastest way to exchange them to American dollars, like for someone who doesn’t live in New York with exchanges on every corner? I went to the bank, but they have to mail them off and it can take 1-2 months. So do most airports have foreign exchange or what should I do?

    Yes, every good size airport has an exchange counter, but their rates are high. I always exchanged mine at the bank. I gave them the currency and they exchanged while I was there. Is this your regular bank? I bank with BofA and it has never been an issue
