money-changers
Foreign exchange dealers
Money-changers are people who exchange one currency for another, typically for a fee.
The term often carries biblical connotations from Jesus driving money-changers from the temple, lending it a faintly disreputable air: The money-changers at the border offered terrible rates.
Modern equivalents work at currency exchanges and banks.
