money changing

Swapping foreign bills

Money changing is the business of exchanging one currency for another, typically for a fee or at a favorable rate.

Money changers operate at airports, borders, and tourist areas where travelers need local currency.

The practice is ancient—Jesus famously drove money changers from the temple.

I found a money changing booth near the train station.
