Most major banks would do it. In Canada we have currency exchange places all over. Airports will have something

chinas currency must go up...20-30%

purposely devaluing their currency to get a trade surplus is finally going to catch up to them

Be careful exchanging USD for other currencies at the bank or a currency exchange centre. They will give you extremely shitty exchange rates that result in a 6% to 12% markup versus the actual rates. Unfortunately, a "retail" individual looking to do a small exchange is pretty much always going to get screwed on the rate, so it is best to shop around for the closest rate to the market.

I'm not the biggest fan, but I'm about 30 minutes into that Schiff video and I highly recommend it.

the funny thing is 30minutes in he talks about the past....i LOVED how he talked about clinton and her trip to china...the last 30/40minutes of it are incredible IMO...

i found a website last night that looks pretty decent...its foreignmoney.com i looked at a couple they were the best rates....
