EXCHANGE OF WEST AFRICAN CURRENCY INTO EURO

Hi there!

I arrived in Germany in the city of Kaiserslautern with the currency of West Africa, currently I would like to obtain the euro.

Please, I would like to know if there are banks that do this exchange service or people.

If yes, I would like to have names of banks or contacts.

Thank you for your attention !

Banks here are reluctant to exchange exotic currencies - if they do it at all, you will get a very bad exchange rate. We alsohave no private money changers in Germany. Therefore it is not a good idea to bring cash - credit cards or or similar are much better!

Maybe you can check with your country's embassy how and where to exchange your currency?
