Derek L asked:


I have about $20-$30 U.S. Dollars worth of Euros and British Pounds. I have no use for them and would like to exchange them for American currency. What banks (if any) will exchange these for me?

WHAT THE F***? asked:


I am going on holiday to the US in 10 days time.
Given the fact that the exchange rate between the GBP and the US$ has dropped from 1.99 (01/08/07)1.82 (currently 16/08/07). Do I change my £1000 spending money now or wait another week?

A. asked:


I want to exchange some GBP money into Euros for my holiday. I only want to convert £60. The minimum order Online is £350. Whats the in-store minimum value?

tag asked:


I am weighing the options for:
- Getting a SBI Vishwa yatra card or any such card
- Exchanging for Euros in India, take them there and deposit in a student’s bank account
- Taking traveller’s cheques and then deposit them in a European bank as and when required.

Please suggest what could be a better option. Or If any other better alternative would also be great.

Thanks!

Win asked:


I would like to trade some stocks, some currencies. If as a broker myself, I don’t really need to pay for brokage? Even I have to pay some other charges, I can trade without commission or brokage if I am a broker?
My point is that I want to trade those not costly as much as possible. So I thought that I have to be a broker. Otherwise how could I do trade without commission or brokerage on every single trade? Thank you very much.
