money changers
Foreign exchange dealers
Money changers are people who exchange one currency for another, typically for a fee or at a profitable rate.
The term evokes biblical scenes of merchants in temple courtyards, and carries connotations of opportunistic profit-taking: Jesus drove the money changers from the temple.
Modern equivalents operate currency exchange booths at airports and border crossings.
