Peter M.

When traveling overseas, I never have considered the option of obtaining foreign currency stateside before travel. But it seems to be a popular practice with many. Is it better to do so, or exchange your dollars when you reach your international destination? As for me, I have observed that if you go to the right places at your destination, you can get a competitive rate. However, there is the argument that if the dollar is strong, it may be advantageous to change your dollars before leaving. This could be true, also if you go to the proper sources that give you the best rate. In my experience, depending on the global destination, sometimes currency exchanges can give you rates that are better than the banks. And also remember that some places do charge extra fees. My visit to LA currency was to do the reverse, exchange different foreign currencies into US dollars. I learned a few things. They do not accept coins, only bills and that too only the current notes that are in circulation. I was surprised that left over foreign currency from a recent trip of 8 months ago were not accepted. Therefore, my bills from Sri Lanka did not qualify for exchange. So were bills from the Dominican Republic and Mexico. These last two were long ago trips .....of notes found in the bottom of drawers :). My bills from the Philippines and Thailand, were able to be converted to dollars. This currency exchange has two very efficient tellers who provided excellent dialogue and service.

Great rates. No hidden fees. Better than most bank's foreign currency exchange rates. Bought some euros for travel to France so we can purchase tickets/passes for local transportation from the airport to Paris without worrying if our US cards will work or not. If you add the 3% exchange rate fee that bank charges along with the $ 5 non bank ATM fees for withdrawing local euros, It is about the same or better with the bank. read more

Don't shop around.... You've come to the right place! My experience with LA Currency was amazing! They were very professional and all about customer service. They do everything they can to make sure the customer is satisfied. I needed pounds and Euros for my upcoming EuroTrip and, as any other person would do, I turned to Yelp and came across their Los Angeles location. I was impressed by their rating and started to read the reviews. Couple minutes in I knew they were my "to go" place to convert currencies. I gave them a call and they said they would gladly hold the currency for me and that they had a closer location in Van Nuys. They gave me the best rate possible and when they say they "have the lowest prices in LA" they aren't kidding! Thank you LACurrency for the wonderful customer service experience. Make sure to check into Yelp for $3 off. read more

This place used to be good or perhaps on the day I went they just had two of the worse employees working that day. I have used this place so often to exchange money that most places don't have for example Icelandic and Danish kroner, I've also purchased pounds and euros. I have gotten Danish Kroner from this place at least for times and every time I have been I'm always greeted by this really young friendly girl that is always extremely helpful. That is what made this place so great it's nearby, had the money I needed and friendly service. Well that all changed about two weeks ago when I needed Norwegian Kroner, I called ahead to make sure they had it and the amount I needed. Well seeing as it's uncommon currency they only had about $300 and I needed $800, they informed me it would take until 2 the next day to have the rest, this was really close as I flew that same day but it was a last minute request so I understood. I explained to the cashier over the phone that either my friend or I would go that day and take what they had and the other would go the next day to get the rest, all I was told was okay and asked for my name. The next day I came to get the rest of the money after 2pm like they said, when I arrived I was hardly welcomed by a lady who had the face of permanently having a putrid smell under her nose... Nonetheless I proceeded to explain to her what I was there for and that I had called ahead as I had time constraints. Still she sauntered back and forth before getting and an equally incompetent person to come and assist with my exchange. Every time before when I have come to this store I have had cash this time I did not, so the fact that I would get charged for using my card and that it would be such an ordeal was unbeknownst to me as there also are no signs that state this and its certainly not information I received over the phone. Well this obviously was an inconvenience since I could have easily done my exchange in the airport for what I was being charged but as I was already there I decided to continue, the lady with the putrid smell face kept telling me I could go to the ATM at 7/11... okay not helpful, obviously I didn't want the extra fees as it was and I would not be able to pull the amount I wanted from a 7/11 ATM... had they informed of this prior to my arrival I clearly could have gone to my bank and gotten the cash. At all of this I had already spent 20 wasted minutes there only for both of the cashiers to tell me I couldn't use my card because they couldn't figure out the machine... I was livid not only had I wasted my time but I also had to leave without the money I needed. Oh and side note... they sold my friend Danish Kroner instead of Norwegian Kroner even after I had called them to inform them she would come in under my name for the Norwegian Kroner. Overall and unfortunately absolute worse experience ever it doesn't matter how conveniently located it is I will never go there again and I am yearling everyone I know to do the same and avoid this place. read more

LACurrency is my go-to spot for currency exchange in LA! They're always efficient, quick, and super friendly. I highly recommend calling ahead to order the amount you want to exchange, makes the process even smoother. Plus, there's plenty of parking in their lot, so no need to stress about finding a spot. Definitely a reliable choice every time! read more

Leanne helped me and was very helpful. She worked with my mom a few days earlier and said that she would call back when smaller bills came in for what we were looking for. She did call back when that happened and I got everything I needed. They even bought back any excess Euros that I didn't use in my trip! read more
