I need to get this done Because of legal reasons. Im in the process of retaining a lawer. and its costing me 2500. So I need to start cleaning out anymoney I need to get rid of. And before you ask there are no banks in my town that will do the exchange.

This is a very serious request.

    Byron:

    Most banks now exchange euros for dollars - call a major bank in your area and see if they can do it or point you in the right direction.

    Good Luck

    Are you near any International Airports?

    Also, maybe there is a foreign exchange place at a larger international airport close to you. As a last resort, you can send notes (no coins) to these guys who say they will buy back foreign notes. I'm not endorsing them, but it was a place I found on the web.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    A few years back, I needed to send French francs to someone. My bank didn't do money exchange, but they did tell me which bank did. The exchange dept was in a very secure part of the administrative office; not the bank. I'm sure that there is a bank in Ft. Wayne that can accomodate you in a similar manner. If not; off to the airport.

    Most Banks in my area wont exchange them because they have a police of exchanging them with the federal reserve. They dont like to sit on them till they have enough to make it worth their time , then by the time they have enough their exchange rate with the federal reserve may have changed. But they will only do it if you have over a certain amount. Needless to say I dont have that much. This is very impprtant for me to ge this done so I have cash at hand . Believe me at the rate its going I feel im going to need it . Its at the point I put up my car and my bike(pedal type not motor) . I know what your thinking he has a sceond car well I only have it because I havent sold it yet, the plan was to sell shortly after I got my new used truck.

    lol the airport in my town is an International airport buy there is no where to exchange any money

    1:1, give or take a cent- that is before the commission, which will take a few dollars...

    You could try calling some local coin dealers, they might buy them or at least know where in your area.

    Only other thing that comes to mind is to give Thomas Cook a call. The Chicago office isn't far so shipping shouldn't be much if they'd take them that way.

    Or maybe your lawyer would hold them temporarily for a retainer?

    Good luck...

    If there is an American Express office near you they will exchange them.
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • indianabyronindianabyron Posts: 1,023
    I have tried American express For what ever reason they wont do it . I can have 5/3 ddo it but they will hold it for 3 weeks before they actually credit my account with american cash. i need this in like 2 weeks. What im facing has me so scared. But like i have said I WILL NOT GO DOWN FOR SOMETHING I DID'NT DO

    THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
