Use your credit card for purchases and exchange some 'loose change' money at the bank.

When in the US I carry $50 cash (usually bring it back) and use my credit card. Get it from the bank, on a few bucks a penny here or there ain't going to make much difference.

Advantage Foreign Exchange on Stephen Avenue Mall. The address is 112 - 8th Ave. SW. They always had the best rate when I checked around.
