Where can I buy Brazilian currency ( Reis) in Los Angeles?

Question

I am going to Brazil soon and would like to exchange currency here in the Los Angeles area.

Answer 1

You can do this at the airport pending that your arrival time at the airport the currency exchange place is open.  General rule of thumb, always exchange US dollars if you can into that country's currency.  Then try and exchange there currency back to US before you depart that country.  You will get the best exchange rates.  

Strongly advice you consider getting travelers cheques to in case they are lost or stolen you aren't potentially out a lot of money.

Answer 2

The currency is real. It's easier to change at the arrival or you can go to a ATM in the airport. No problem

Answer 3

Answer 4

It seems unnecessary to exchange currency in advance. You can always do so at the airport cambio. However if you would really like to get some currency the best bet would be to contact any Brazilians living in the area either through the consulate/brazilian restaurants/student societies and ask them if they are willing to exchange with you. Most should have at least some Brazilian currency on them.

Answer 5

The bank.

Answer 7
