Is there another place to exchange currency besides the airport?
Sure, it’s convenient to exchange currency at the airport, but you won’t get the best deal. • Banks can exchange currency, but call your nearby branch beforehand to make sure they can handle your transaction that day or refer you to another branch. • Call the nearest American Express office for currency exchange, especially if you’re a cardholder who is planning to purchase foreign travelers checks through them. • As a AAA (auto club) member, you can exchange your money for foreign travelers checks. AAA offers its members AAA Visa Travelers Cheques, AAA Foreign Currency, or the AAA Visa TravelMoney Card. • I also searched on Yahoo Local for “currency exchange” and found some places in town. • Finally, don’t underestimate the traditional Yellow Pages for finding an exchange.
