Does your average US bank exchange foreign currency?

Question

i have some pesos left over from my trip to mexico, and i was wondering if most banks (like citizens etc.) would exchange them for U.S. dollars, or will i have to go to a special place? if so, where can i go?

Answer 1

Call your bank and ask who does it in the area... here in Albany NY there is only one bank out of 8 that does foreign currency exchange.

(I thought they all did until I had to do it! Oh, and they charge a huge fee... you might not even be getting enough money back to make it worth your while to drive to the bank.)

Answer 2

StonedImmaculate, I found a nice resource of New Mexico currency exchanges. http://www.whatisforextrading.com/New-Me... Hopefully they will be able to assist you.

Answer 3

  

    No, most banks do not convert foreign currency.  One place you can try, as a starting point, it the American Express Office.

Answer 4

yes
