moneychangers
Foreign exchange dealers
Moneychangers are people who exchange one currency for another, typically for a fee.
The term evokes biblical imagery—Jesus famously drove the moneychangers from the temple.
Today it describes currency exchange operators, though the word carries a faintly archaic or disapproving tone: The moneychangers at the airport offered terrible rates.
