I'm with chase bank

You will get screwed by any bank on the exchange rate spread and commission. Best bet is to find someone who plans to go to Switzerland and do a private deal or to keep it until the next time.

I have 100,000 Korean Won in my wallet. (US$80) I keep meaning to sell it to one of my Korean co-workers when they're headed back to the Mother Ship. A week in Korea on business and I didn't use any cash at all.

Chase probably has a branch in NOLA - probably downtown - that handles foreign currency.

the big banks in Portland, including chase, have downtown branches that do foreign exchange.

lol, swiss francs...euros...swedish kronor.

i actually have a lot of foreign bills from my travels. i usually just use some cash and whatever i have left over i keep for the next time i go to that country. there are a few countries that i have never returned to but someday...

if you work, then just email it to your co-workers. there is probably someone willing to change it for you who collects bills, will be going to sweden soon, etc.

fwiw, i have about 200 usd worth of swedish kronor from my first trip there 3 months ago. it was a cool country to visit and i had a lot of fun in stockholm. i'll be back...

Go to your bank. If they wont exchange it, they will know who will locally.


Sometimes they will send you to a different branch as not all branches of any given bank do foreign exchange.

I have a 10,000 Vietnamese Dong bill (value around $2). It has paid for itself many times over in entertainment value as I ask friends and acquaintances (usually female) if they 'would like to see my Dong'.
