How do you exchange U.S. dollars to euros?

Answer 1

The trick to exchanging euros, or any foreign money, into U.S. dollars is to find a way least expensive. Probably one of the most expensive ways to do this is to go to a bank. Bank often have high exchange rates. For least expensive exchanges, there are multiple options; all up for your prefrance and the current situation.

Many airports have exchange "booths" I guess you could say which allow you to exchange U.S. dollars into other money systems. Some hotels also offer this service. Many agree this is an affordable price, however some argue that it is more expensive than others. It depends on what company of exchange booth you use.

You may also use a credit card, however be careful when using this way of transaction, for credit card companies do not convert it instantly, therefore if the rate of U.S. dollar is deflating (it's comparison is currently going down in value), the transaction may take the currency rate of a different, later time which may be less of a value. Also be careful when using a credit card in foreign countries and NOTIFY YOU BANK! If you forget or do not, the company may believe your card/information has been stolen and will cancel your card, leaving you in a forgein country with little to no money.

Here are some useful websites to look at if you want some more info, however, I would look around as well to see how the current situation and exchange rate is:
