Fantastic currency exchange. Mark is extremely helpful. I have been using Treasure Trove for over 20 years. They always have the currency I need at the best exchange rates. Do not use the exchanges at the airport as they are very expensive compared to Mark. Note, this is cash only, but in a very safe location. read more

I don't travel a lot, so thought I needed some UK cash before a family trip and didn't order from my bank far enough in advance. Really, I should have just used the atm when I got there. This place was not a scam and I got a decent -not amazing, but decent- exchange rate. But the experience was surreal and definitely not a bank atmosphere. I was rushed into a small office at the same time as strangers also changing their money and the whole thing made me nervous. Probably would not go back unless it was an emergency. read more

In & out the building in 4 minutes Cash in hand. Place takes cash only. Mark was nice and efficient

The instructions to get into the place are weird, but they are accurate. Super fast service. I have no idea if the rate is good, as there doesn't seem to be a competitor in downtown DC. read more

Horrendous rates, went in to exchange dollars for Colombian Pesos and he tells me the rate that was just an insult. I ask him why this rate (keep in mind the peso is at 3,700 to the dollar and he was offering about 3,000) more than 20% wasted. He provides no explanation just flips his computer for two seconds and says that's the rate. He has a horrible attitude and would highly advise just withdrawing from the atm at one time and eating the fees. Will never use this place again, horrendous experience. read more

At the end of it all, I was able to get the exchange of cash needed for a trip. The gentleman that provided the actual service was polite however the service after getting off the elevator could have been better. read more

Amazing service and very efficient! Got the currencies I needed in less than five minutes. I will definitely be back.

Amazing and prompt customer service! I called to find out their hours of operations and Mark was beyond helpful and pleasant. He not only provided the requested information but also put the needed currency on hold for me. Once I arrived, he was just as pleasant in-person and had be in and out in less than 10 minutes. I will definitely use Treasure Trove again! And remember to look out for the Benson Jeweler's sign, as they are located within the jewelry store. read more

After receiving wrong information from my bank about obtaining foreign currency I thought I have no other choice but to go to Travelex. I did a quick Google search for Travelex dc area and somehow I found Treasure Trove. Because I was multitasking I thought it was an actual Travelex location. So when the owner said "Treasure Trove" when he answered the phone I was a bit confused and asked "is this Travelex?" He responded "No and Travelex is way more expensive!" That, of course immediately got my attention. So I asked if he had the 2 currencies I was looking for (Argentine peso & Brazilian real), and indeed he did. He earned a new customer today and I'll be spreading the word. read more

Shenita, I am so sorry that you feel that you were not given the correct amount of money for your currency exchange at my store. However, our rates are low determined by CXI and my inventory is strictly inventoried and reported weekly to ensure that our customers receive the exact amount due. We have extremely high customer satisfaction and our rates are much lower than our competitors. After 9 years of service, we have rarely have had a low review. In fact, my jewelry store, Treasure Trove Jewelers, ran from 1946 until last year, and was beloved by the DC community. A business does not last that long if the owners are not honorable and treat their customers with respect as they deserve. I feel that I needed to share my thoughts with you because reputation is all you have at the end of the day. read more

We went here a few days before we left for South Africa. The customer service was great and we were able to get the South African rand without a problem. I feel like their rates are better than other travel currency exchanges we have used in the past. The only challenge we had is that they did not have the Mauritian Rupee. But it turns out we were ok without that currency :). All in all, we will definitely use this for our next international trip! read more

I've been to Treasure Trove many times, both for currency exchange and watch repair/battery services. I love them. Friendly, professional, and I'm always able to get in and out quickly. If you need a currency that they don't have on hand, you can just call in and request it, and they'll have it for you the next business day! They have good exchange rates and are very transparent on their fees, which are low. The other day, I needed the battery replaced in a special watch I received as a gift in Korea. It doesn't have a typical build and I could tell that it was going to be hard to open. They managed to do it without scratching the crystal, which was great. I come back every time! read more

The gentleman was welcoming and nice. It was fast, and I even got parking directly across the street!

Unfortunately, I waited until the last minute to inquire about exchanging money before my trip. But, good info to know for next time. .. If they don't have the currency on hand, it usually takes about 24 hours for the currency to arrive. Located inside the Treasure Trove jewelry shop. Friendly service with a smile. read more

I did a exchange for South Africa currency and the service was great and fast. No other business had this currency but this one did with a good rate. I almost passed it, its a jewelry store. read more

Awesome customer service. He explained the exchange rate for multiple currencies and had me on my way in less than 15 minutes

Went into this business on my first trip to Mexico and thought I was getting 300 worth of Mexican money. First mistake I was on the phone when I went in . This happened last year and I didn't yelp about it but I did report to better business bureau. The older man dipped me for $150. I was mad then but not anymore. I wonder what has happened to the business since Covid. You can't do wrong and think it want come back to you! Will never visit this place again. read more

Super efficient and friendly service. Picked up some Euros without hassle or delay. Strongly recommend!

Super happy with the location, customer service, availability of the currency we needed (Euros) and general knowledge. Efficient & great rates. Be sure to go in with cash to make your exchange. read more

Mohammad was excellent. His exchange rate was as good as my bank's, Bank of Am., and I didn't have to wait. Walked it, gave him the US currency and walked out with my Euros. I also cashed in some Turkish money I'd had sitting around from a trip two years ago. Will definitely go back again! read more

First time exchanging currency and the gentleman who helped me made me really comfortable. I was in and out of there in less than 5 minutes. Definitely recommend coming here. read more

Terrific rates of exchange from a very friendly owner willing to offer advice and stories about your plans for travel and your needs for currency. read more

Fast, FRIENDLY service. So glad the baggie of Euros my husband found stashed in his luggage led me to this place. Will definitely came back. read more

This is a legit spot. I was in and out so fast and the rate was really good compared.

I exchanged my dollars to peso two days before my Mexico trip. Such a easy process, go in with cash and walk out with your currency, no hassle. The exchange rate was pretty good compare to the airports and other places. read more

This place is a great place to convert currency! Super easy and fast. My friend and I came into the store to convert USD to Mexican pesos for our cancun trip and the process was very simple. The man working there was nice and helpful. XE.com says that $98USD is equal to 1795 MXN. I got back 1600 MXN (195 MXN short). That must have been the conversion fee (which is about $10 USD). Additionally, this place is also a jewelry store. read more

Quick and easy process. I was able to exchange USD for both Pounds and Euros for a decent rate. I would definitely use them again.

Recommended for currency exchange. I exchanged dollars to euros. The rate I got was better than other nearby options like travelex offered and the fee was a flat $5 for less than $500. They also had plenty of small denominations and were able to accommodate any preferences for how to receive currency. read more

Money exchange was quick and less expensive than airport rates. Staff was friendly and helpful.

I just called to ask for exchange rates and what the fees are and the guy who answered the phone sounded so agitated.

Outstanding, efficient and fair! My best praise is to say it is worth the aggravation of city traffic and parking! I will use them again!- Currency Exchange read more

Treasure Trove has been around for over 70 years and I've never had a bad experience in the 30 years of receiving service. I went to purchase currency for an upcoming trip. I did my research and they were by far the quickest and the cheapest. No bait and switch. I tried the place at Union Station and I was not pleased with what they offered just to exchange currency and then if you do this and that you get this.... Who has time for that. Treasure Trove it is. read more

I was trying to sell some foreign currency I had left over after a trip and was quoted the wrong amount (not even close, less than 1/4 of what I expected it to be worth, even with a low exchange rate). I thought maybe I had done the math wrong, and when I tried to pull out my phone to check, was told very patronizingly and exasperatedly to "put away your phone" and that his quote was absolutely right and to take it or leave it. I left and fortunately figured out my bank would just exchange it for me at exactly the rate I had been expecting. read more

Great place to do currency exchanges. Rates are excellent, staff is helpful, and location is central. I highly recommend it.

At the last minute, I needed some Ukrainian money for an upcoming trip and Treasure Trove came through! They were able to get me the funds within 24 hours at a decent exchange rate. I would definitely go to them again. Customer service was top notch and I highly recommend. read more

Overall great, quick service before an upcoming trip. Lower rate than other exchange services and conveniently in the metro center area.

Took note of the comments below and went. I was very pleased by the staff and the rates offered as I recently returned from traveling and wanted to switch my money back. Best place to do it in DC, guaranteed. read more

Got 500 euros today from TTFCX for $637 USD. Should've checked with PNC Bank first; would've saved $18.

I haven't even been in to the store yet, but they are the only business who answered the first time I called, was able to exchange my foreign currency for U.S. dollars, actually gave me the exchange rate WITHOUT me having to ask, AND is charging me 10% or less to exchange my money. By far the best in the area! read more

BEWARE OF THE BAIT AND SWITCH! The customer service here is atrocious. I called to get the exchange rate and was told it would be .70. I then went to the shop. When I walked in, the old guy at the counter did not even acknowledge me. I waited. And waited. Nothing. Maybe he didn't notice me. Giving the benefit of the doubt, I left and returned a few hours later. This time he actually said hello. When I approached the counter he acted as if I was invisible again. I told him I need currency exchanged. Begrudgingly, he went to the back office and brought back a computer. After putting in all the numbers he told me the rate would be .66. WHAT! I would lose $24 because of the difference. Bait and switch. No way. Terrible way to do business. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! read more
