depending on where you live your bank will do it for you and they give you the correct exchange rate. Better than exchanging at the shit kiosks anyway

I did it last year a few months before traveling because the Euro-Dollar were so close at the time.

I don't, because ATMs are pretty nearly universal now unless you wanna go innawoods somewhere, and I don't want to carry a bunch of cash around. To each his own, of course.

If I think about it, I might get $50 worth of local currency before traveling, just to have some local cash in my pocket .

I typically do it if the currency is offered by my bank.

>tfw accidently came home with 90 dollars worth of currency no one wants

Tried the one in JFK. wouldn't take it.

I would only do that if I were traveling in the future and I knew the current exchange rate was good.

I would recommend getting a credit card with no foreign transaction fees and charge as much stuff as possible while you are overseas or get an checking account/ATM card with no fees and taking out money as you go.

Depending if the location is largely cash based (such as Berlin or Tokyo), I will take cash out prior to the trip so I have money on me when I land.

What currency? I haven't travelled widely enough to find something that's unexchangeable.

Macedonian denars. I'm desperate enough I might list them on Craigslist at a low price.

Different guy, but my bank used to sneer at Colombian currency. They have since gotten over it.

Donate them to a charity for the tax write-off. Also for the lulz.

That's a pretty great idea.

I'm going to be really honest

Pretty much all the currency in that image looks like absolute shit except the US dollar

Amerifags are 50 years behind when it comes to functional physical currency.
