Changing foreign currency in Los Angeles can be a challenge. It's best to change money in your home country before you leave or to buy travelers checks in US dollars. Alternately, you can use many credit cards to withdraw dollars from Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs)which are located at the airport, at banks, supermarkets and tourist areas. Most hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions, taxis and other businesses accept major credit cards, so you don't need to carry a lot of cash. Visa and MasterCard (EuroCard) are the most common.
If you do need to change foreign currency in LA, these are your options:
At LAX, there are currency exchange booths in the upper level departure area of all terminals and in the arrivals area at the Bradley International Terminal. Traveler's checks can be exchanged at every terminal. Visa card and MasterCard cash advances available up to USD 300 at ICE currency exchange kiosks at Terminals 2, 3, 5, 7, and Tom Bradley Terminal.
Some hotels near tourist attractions will change foreign currency for guests.
Some large banks in major tourist areas will buy foreign currency in exchange for dollars, but even some of these limit which currency they will accept. In order to buy foreign currency, you usually have to order it ahead of time at American banks.
