Okay I'm teaching a lesson on various countries and I thought I'd try and get money from the different countries to showcase to the kids. I just need maybe a bill and some change. My bank is going to charge me 7.50 for this, I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a simpler and easier way to go about getting a bit of foreign cash.

You do realise that foreign cash is cash and therefore is not like buying a piece of colorred paper. Depending on what you type of currency you need, the cost is dependant on the exchange rate and the commission. Your bank often will have cheaper rates for you as an existing customer.
 
Of course (s)he knows that. (S)He's a teacher :rolleyes:
 
I hate that exchange rates aren't set in stone, that's always bothered me
 
Then why the surprise it costs money. 7.50 makes no sense if she is only exchanging a $.

'Teacher'. Those that can't do, teach. Those that can't teach... errr... post at comingsoon.com
 
The 7.50 is a delivery charge, not an exchange rate and the other banks around here are charging a nice little extra fee for not being a member of their bank. I fully expect to pay an exchange rate, I'm just looking to avoid extra costs. I'd rather not pay 10 extra bucks or so just to showcase some coin, you know? I thought maybe the hype's vast knowledge would provide some kind of resource.

Also, I'm not really a teacher...
 
I have a Japanese quarter (well, it has Asian writing on it), and some pennies from Canada. But sadly, I am not gonna send them to you.
