Our bank did it. It took some time but they exchanged some cash for us. You could also see about going to an international airport.

Go to an international airport.

Terminal E at IAH. They have an exchange counter there in the lobby where check in. I've done it a few times.

larger banks do currency exchange, but they charge you, example. . . if you have 150 US dollars worth of foreign currency, they might charge you like 8-10 bucks. . . maybe more. Usually a percentage, so you end up with like 140 or so actual US dollars. smaller banks don't screw w/this, so go to a national bank chain. Oh yeah, the airports usually have places too.

yea thanks for all the help. i tried my bank(wells fargo) but they dont exchange argentine pesos they have about 10 of the most major currency's and that is not one

chevy0128

also i only have about enough argentine pesos for 65 usdollars so im trying to get charged the least possible

quickblade

usually I would take my foreign money to a international bank..
They will usually do it right away, since they will have the exchange rates.....

you better have like a million bucks of their money...
That will get you like... 10 dollars... LOL

Pay a dollar to park at IAH and they will change it for you at T-E. I will check in the morning to make sure it is not on the secure side

chevy0128

well at IAH as well they only have the major currency and argentine pesos is not one of them. i am actually flying home to houston from california on tuesday but i already called and that is what they told me. i guess i just have to go to argentina agian haha

They will do it. I took an envelope with Bolivian, Columbian, Argentian, Brazilian and a bunch of other random money and they changed it. If they will take Bolivian money, they sure as hell will take Argentian. Remember that there are several exchange places in an airport. Since Houston is a major hub for Latin American travel, i'd bet they will be able to exchange it.

i would just call a bunch of random banks in your area, starting with the one you have accounts at, and just ask what their fees are. i have a feeling that the fees vary greatly from bank to bank.
