Lesson Excerpt:

What is money exchange?

Exchanging money happens when you travel from one country to another country. Different countries use different forms of currency. When you are in that particular country, you have to use the form of currency that is customary in that country. Otherwise, you won’t be able to purchase anything.

Exchanging money is a skill that you will need if you ever decide to travel outside of the Unites States. While some other countries do accept American money, most will make you exchange your money for the currency common in the country that you are visiting.
