So *that's* how that works. . .

I travel to Europe yearly. ALWAYS get my euros upon arriving from a European Bank, not a private ATM using my ATM card. My bank provides me a better exchange rate, only pay for the ATM transaction. Also, remember to select euros when using your credit card, let YourBank do the exchange. When they Give you the option at the store or restaurants they do get a commission right there for conducting transaction in US dollars.

Wells Fargo on 466A was able to get them for me the next day.

I know right? I travel all the time to Europe and have never gotten euros in advance. The best rate is a bank ATM in the country you’re in.

I have 20€ here. I find I don't need a lot upon landing. If for some reason I can't use my CC, or want to tip a porter. If you want to buy them let me know.

I have some left over that we don’t need

I just bought them from AAA in MA in September, April and a few weeks ago for a trip to France. The Southeast AAA doesn’t offer Euros? That’s crazy. I did use an ATM for some in France- pretty easy transaction with minimal fees

My wife and I exchange Euros for US$ at a minimal cost through the Revolut app. I assume that you can do the reverse.

That’s what we do when going to a foreign country whether it’s Mexico, the UK or Europe, just find an ATM. The exchange rates are usually very good, if not good at the airport, just get enough to get you to your hotel and find an ATM in town. In Cancun, the hotel ATM had a very high exchange rates… walked down the street to a local bank and rates were very good plus a small $3-4 service charge.

I ordered 900 pounds Sterling last summer preparing for a 19 day trip to the UK and came back with over 700 pounds. Since COVID every place including a cab driver was cashless. If I was do it again, I would take minimal euros and use a charge card that doesn't charge a transaction fee. Many of the major CC companies no longer charge. You get screwed on the exchange rate bringing back any foreign currency.

When you are experienced and know the landscape, its much easier to be efficient.
For some who have never been where they are going, the uncertainty of efficient locations and availability has an uncertainty that makes the pre purchase comforting, for a small amount of transactional fee.

Therefore, the inexperienced always appreciates the advice and helpfulness of the experienced

no different than carrying lots of cash in the US and using all credit cards all the time in the US.

CXI exchange in Orlando. If you order online they deliver small bills also. Last time I ordered it was 20 dollars I received them the next day

I woul like just a couple hundred to go with. My problem is that the banks do it for their customers only.
