Unfortunately No. The buy and sell rates of foreign currency exchange are always different. You can change the foreign currency back to AUD on the buy rate of the day. The buy rate is the rate at which we are buying foreign currency from the customer. You can always call us at 08 7120 2549 or come down to the store to check the buy back rate and how much AUD you will get for your foreign currency exchange. Again we pride ourselves in offering the best exchange rates in Australia for that as well.
We can only buyback banknotes. We do not buy back coins.
The banknotes have to be in good condition and not torn, damaged or taped. There have to be still legal tender at the time. Simply bring the notes in and we will change it to AUD for you.
You can bring only the 60+ currencies we deal in or that you can see on our website. Even these currencies can change at times. If we deal with the currency we buy it back from you and give you AUD equivalent of these notes.
No, you can just walk in. You can always call us if you like, to check how much AUD you are getting for your foreign currency exchange.
You have quite a few options. One you can keep these with you if you plan another trip back to the same country. Secondly you can sell these to any coin collector to get some AUD instead of them lying around your house. And the third and the best option is you can bring these to our store and donate them to guide dogs. These coins may not be worth much for you but can make a massive difference to someone's life.
There is no limit to the amount you can take with you, but in Australia, if you are taking out (or bringing back) more than AUD 10000.00 worth of foreign currency or AUD with you, you must declare the amount at the customs. For other countries, different countries have different restrictions on the amount you can take into or out of the jurisdiction, which you should check on the respective countries customs or immigration websites. You should do so before buying the currencies, so you do not end up with money which you cannot take with you and have to change it again to AUD and thereby lose any money.
We are asked that question a lot! And we wish everyday that we knew the answer. The markets keep on fluctuating every day and even during the day, so no one can predict exactly what is the best time to get the best money exchange rates in Australia. You will have to do your estimates as to what is the right time for you to buy the foreign currency. Once you have decided, you can just go to our online currency exchange as the fastest way to get it done. But we highly recommend you to not leave the transaction to the last moment because sometimes we may not have the currency you need in stock, and may have to order it in for you, and it may take 2-3 business days for us to organise the foreign currency.
