When traveling overseas, I never have considered the option of obtaining foreign currency stateside before travel. But it seems to be a popular practice with many. Is it better to do so, or exchange your dollars when you reach your international destination? As for me, I have observed that if you go to the right places at your destination, you can get a competitive rate. However, there is the argument that if the dollar is strong, it may be advantageous to change your dollars before leaving. This could be true, also if you go to the proper sources that give you the best rate. In my experience, depending on the global destination, sometimes currency exchanges can give you rates that are better than the banks. And also remember that some places do charge extra fees. My visit to LA currency was to do the reverse, exchange different foreign currencies into US dollars. I learned a few things. They do not accept coins, only bills and that too only the current notes that are in circulation. I was surprised that left over foreign currency from a recent trip of 8 months ago were not accepted. Therefore, my bills from Sri Lanka did not qualify for exchange. So were bills from the Dominican Republic and Mexico. These last two were long ago trips .....of notes found in the bottom of drawers :). My bills from the Philippines and Thailand, were able to be converted to dollars. This currency exchange has two very efficient tellers who provided excellent dialogue and service.

What is the exchange rate for $ to euros and pounds? Planning to exchange money today.

As of today 1 British Pound is about $1.22 and 1 Euro is about $1.10 so they are just about equal. But LAcurrency may be a bit different in addition to their service fees. But they are still a fair company that I will use again.
