I visited here a few weeks back for some cash before my trip and I certainly will be back. They had all the currencies I needed. I was worried about finding Jordanian Dinars, but they even had that here! Good exchange rates, very low fee, and Bruce was very nice and friendly!Thank you for using Foreign Currency Exchange Services, Fred. I hope you had a memorable time on your trip. If you have any excess currency left, please bring it in so that I can exchange it for you. Thank you again. Bruce

I traveled 6hrs, one way, to purchase my currency and Bruce (the manager) made it worth the long drive. He even recommends where to get great barbecue, for dinner, before traveling back. Fantastic person and great serviceThank you for using FCES, Joel. I am glad that I could be of help with your foreign currency as well as recommending some good BBQ. Thank you again.

Questions & Answers

What is the transaction fee for transferring USD to Euros? Thank you.

Amina Hatibovic | Dec 25, 2019
Foreign Currency Exchange Services (Owner) | Dec 26, 2019

Hi Amina. There is a flat US$5.00 transaction when we sell foreign money to you. When we buy back your excess currency when you return, there is no transaction fees.

Hi. I would like to exchange $500.00 US for Austrailian currency Monday, February 3, 2020. Will this be a problem?

Bonny Heintzel | Dec 24, 2020
Ken Sturm | Dec 25, 2020

Why would there? They are a good service and only charge 5 USD to exchange. I get my Euro from them whenever i go to Berlin Germany, i like to have some pocket money also when in Berlin. There is also places that prefer cash in Germany. So yes good place. Good luck finding a place to park!! That's the only complaint i have is parking and have change with you for the meters lol. Never use that currency place in the airports, they are crooks!

I have 4000 in Ghana money. Can I change it over to U S dollars and what are the fee's???

Lisa Clark | Dec 25, 2019
BRUCE B | Dec 26, 2019

Hi Lisa. Ghana cedis is a restricted currency, meaning it is illegal to bring their currency in or out of the country (and is subject to confiscation when arriving with some cedis). That means there is no market for the currency whether it is at a bank or currency exchange kiosk. Also, there was a change in denominations of their bills around 2007. If you have bills dated 2006 or earlier, it would take 10,000 of them to make one new cedi. You may be able to sell them on eBay to a collector. Hope this helps you. Bruce (Foreign Currency Exchange Services)

The exchange is while you are present. There may be a short line but it's well worth it. Friendly exchanges with foreign insights and a smile. ;)

Rick Shoup | Dec 25, 2018
BRUCE B | Dec 26, 2018

FCES ceased exchanging Iraqi dinars in August 2014. It was not a popular vacation destination (Iraq) and our currency brokers were not stocking it as they did in the past.

Are you exchanging Zimbabwe currency yet

Bartholomew Tinder | Dec 24, 2020
BRUCE B | Dec 25, 2020

Hi Bartholomew. In most cases, goods in Zimbabwe are priced in US dollars. The old currency dated in the early 2000s (up to the 100 trillion notes) were taken out of circulation in 2009. They have reissued smaller notes but there are restrictions on the new bank notes. Our currency brokers have not stocked this currency due to low demand and possible volatility.

Hi, do you exchange Lebanese pounds for US dollars? If so what is the exchange rate?

rim ishak | Dec 25, 2019
BRUCE B | Dec 26, 2019

Hi Rim. Due to the small demand for Lebanese pounds as well as our currency brokers do not stock that foreign currency, we are unable to exchange (buy/sell) it. You may be able to call some coin dealers (some deal with paper notes as well) in the area. Hope this helps.

Please call us at (248) 594-6655 so that we can describe the bills over the phone. We do not charge a fee when buying back your currency. Looking forward to helping you. Thank you. Bruce

Can i exchange Ghana cedis to USD?

Aqib Mushtaq | Dec 25, 2018
BRUCE B | Dec 26, 2018

The Ghana cedi is a restricted currency and our brokers do not stock (buy or sell) it either. The demand for cedis is very low and is recommended to exchange while in Ghana. You can try your local coin dealers to see if they are interested in purchasing your Ghana money. Hope this helps you.

Do you exchange omani baisa to usd?

Misba Haque | Dec 25, 2018
BRUCE B | Dec 26, 2018

FCES exchanges Omani rials but not Omani baisa. The baisa are fractional bank notes (for example, an 100 baisa note is only worth 0.10 rials) and our brokers are accepting only the Omani rial notes.

Please guys i have ethioipian money so can i get exchange please

Ha.нυѕѕĸa | Dec 25, 2018
BRUCE B | Dec 26, 2018

Ethiopian birr is a restricted currency and cannot be exchanged at FCES' office location. When a currency is restricted, it means that the country wants to control the flow of the currency in and out of the country and/or that currency's exchange rate. You will find that most currency exchange places or banks will not stock this currency because of that reason.
