Currency Exchange

medicnicole85 asked:


I’m leaving for the Peace Corps soon and want to take some money with me. I’m going to Turkmenistan and they don’t accept US money there. I went to my bank and they don’t have Manat (The Turkmen money). I also went to 2 different currency exchange and they don’t have any either. Turkmenistan won’t take travelers checks or credit cards and the Peace Corps suggested I go to my bank but like I said they didn’t have any. Any suggestions?

I have a large amount of foreign currency cash that I need to exchange back into US dollars to be able to deposit in my bank account. My bank does not accept the type of foreign currency I have to exchange it for me. Any suggestions on what to do and not get gouged by the kiosks at the airport?

Jay asked:


I am trying to exchange my foreign currency (Mexican pesos to US dollars) but it is in the form of coin, and the banks will not accept it. Is there a place that accepts foreign currency in the form of coin to exchange into US dollars?

I live near Clarkston, MI. I have Venezuelan currency and some others that I forgot but its just a big block of cash that I don’t use so I figured I’d better exchange it. I just don’t know where.

MidnightSky asked:


I have some bills and coins from a trip to Thailand and Vancouver, Canada from five years ago. Is there a place in the northwest U.S. area to exchange it to american currency?
is there any added fee to do it, or will it be exchanged at the full current rate?

strawberriesilove asked:


Besides most commercial banks where can I go to exchange foreign currency? I traveled to Niagara Falls, Canada in 2005. On the way out of the country I had an impaitent bus driver who would not allow me to stop off at the Duty Free shop to exchange the currency. So I came home with just under $20 in Canadian Currency. I’ve held onto this money since last year. Every commercial bank I’ve called require you to be a customer. My credit union doesn’t accept foreign currency for deposits. So I feel like I’m stuck with this money I can’t use. If I knew someone going to Canada perhaps I could offer to “sell” it to them but in lieu of that I don’t what to do with this money.
