Besides most commercial banks where can I go to exchange foreign currency? Besides most commercial banks where can I go to exchange foreign currency? I traveled to Niagara Falls, Canada in 2005. On the way out of the country I had an impaitent bus driver who would not allow me to stop off at the Duty Free shop to exchange the currency. So I came home with just under $20 in Canadian Currency. I've held onto this money since last year. Every commercial bank I've called require you to be a customer. My credit union doesn't accept foreign currency for deposits. So I feel like I'm stuck with this money I can't use. If I knew someone going to Canada perhaps I could offer to "sell" it to them but in lieu of that I don't what to do with this money.

Best way to obtain foreign currency when traveling? I've been told that while traveling overseas the best exchange rate and easiest access to foreign currency is to use an ATM, and that even with bank fees and conversion % ($2 and 3% respectively), it is still the optimal method. My question is, are there any places within the United States online or not, that offer rates similarly to that of foreign ATMs? Most places I have found are anywhere from a 7 - 10% increase on the foreign conversion rate [found on XE], plus shipping fees. Or is it easier to just get money out at an ATM upon arrival and not take any with you? I am also curious as to what markup is typically present at ATMs when compared to XE values. I will be traveling to London and most of Europe, including Switzerland and Czech Republic. So I know that I will need at least 4 currencies. I would just like to minimize fees as much as possible especially since I will be dealing with $2000 to $3000. I'd like to avoid giving banks free money as much as possible! I have a capital one credit card that has 0% on all fees, which I intend to use for most all purchases, and hopefully have access to my online account sometime to pay it all off every week or so. That will likely drive down the amount of money I need to take out a lot, but there are still a lot of places that will not accept Visa that only cash will do. I am not comfortable giving my credit card to restaurants where it will be taken out of my sight when on vacation, so I will still need a fair amount of cash.

foreign currency loans and forward contracts, how to exploit dollar weakness? here is my scenario: i live in the US. I have both US and EU citizen ship. i have a residence here in the US and also one in Europe. i have a student loan at a US bank denominated in US Dollars. my goal: i believe that the us dollar will gain in strength over a foreign currency, and having the debt payable in foreign dollars will lower my real cost eventually. here is my question: i would like to take out a new loan in EU or other foreign currency to replace the old loan. Otherwise, I would like to sell a forward contract in foreign currency for the time the loan runs off. does anyone know a major bank offering loans in foreign currencies? since the loan is already in US dollars, how do i instead make a forward contract in selling the foreign currency? i am now set to make monthly payments in dollars for the next 15 years. do i sell a contract for one year and next year sell another? or are there 15 year contracts? sell this contract like equity options when one "writes a call"?

Foreign currency vs US Savings Account? I recently moved our family finances to the E*Trade bank (good% rates, free ATM), and the "Global Trading" accounts caught my eye. We're saving for a house and want to make a very large down payment (large for us anyways)..and want to keep that money liquid. E*Trade is currently paying out 4.7% on the savings account, but I'm wondering with the continued slide of the Dollar, and my easy access to foreign currencies via the "Global Trading Account", would it be a semi-smart move to have a fair amount of our savings sitting in foreign currency? E*Trade pays out almost zero % on money sitting in the foreign currency....but if the dollar continues to slide like I think it will, is foreign currency a valid place to stow that money for a couple of years while we're saving? I'm not talking about constantly moving currency back and forth, so what are my downsides? E*Trade fees? Taxes when I convert the currency back? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Foreign currency forward pricing problem? I have been trying to solve this problem and I don't know where to go. A company enters into a forward contract with a bank to sell a foreign currency for K1 at time T1 . The exchange rate at time T1 proves to be S1 > K1 (NOTE, S1 is the spot price at T1). The company asks the bank if it can roll the contract forward until time T2 > T1 rather than settle at time T1 . The bank agrees to a new delivery price, K2 . Explain how K2 should be calculated. I'm thinking there should be a time adjusted difference between K1 and S1 factored into the new price along with the spot price at T1 (S1). K2=(2*S1-K1)*exp^((r-rf)(T2)) I'm not sure what direction to go in after that. Maybe I'm thinking about this too hard, but I feel like I'm missing something.

Could a check drawn on an American bank be written in a foreign currency and used in another country? Couldn't I AM NOT PLANNING TO DO THIS. IT IS JUST FOR MY KNOWLEDGE. 1. An American credit card can be used in most countries in the currency of the foreign country. 2. An American check can be written in American dollars and used in a foreign country assuming someone will accept it and is willing to pay any charges. 3. So could I just cross off the word dollars and change it to something else and use it. This is assuming someone would accept it and is willing to pay any charges at their end. Just what are the legalities? Couldn't a bank just handle the exchange in the same manner as credit cards? Obviously there would be a service charge at this end. Ignore that extra word at the end of the question. Don't know where it came from. Concerning statement 2. I received a check from the UK in pounds and had no problem cashing it. What if the check indicated US dollars? Would either my bank say no or the issuing bank bounce it back?

Should I take my bank account and invest it in a foreign currency? Okay, if you've been following the news you might now that the U.S. dollar is losing value on the world market. *Fast.* It's lost so much value that the Us $ is worth less than a canadian $ and dropping fast... http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20071019.wdollarhigh1019/BNStory/Front All this has me in a sweat. Should I close out my modest bank account (or at least take most of it) and invest in a foreign currency or something else stable before the dollar is devalued so badly my account is technically worthless? Should I buy things like food/clothes/basic supplies in anticipation of a crash? Whatever I do I CAN'T simply stand and hope it'll work out. By all signs it's too late for that. Any money-savvy people have some advice here? The sooner the better?
