Money Exchange AUD$ to USD$
Hi,
Is it usually better to convert AUD$ into USD$ from Australia before departure or after arrival into USA?I mean in USA do all the money changer charge their commission?
Thanks,
Murtaza

Damn! You're not actually coming over to this country, are you? Will they actually let you in?

I picture the scene at the airport as the beginning of some sort of surreal "Mr Bean comes to America"... but funnier!

Either change up some money before you leave, or see that your ATM card will work on a popular network in the US and withdraw your money once here.
We had to drive all over hall and gone (and this is not a small town) to get rid of the GBPs my darling brought with him for his first visit. For one thing, I hardly ever use cash.. what's that?

You won't find money changing operations on the street in the US like you may in other countries.
Either change up some money before you leave, or see that your ATM card will work on a popular network in the US and withdraw your money once here.
