| Victoria | Money Exchange Posted: Sat December 23, 2006 11:45 PM UTC
Hello, I have just moved to Victoria and have a wad of Euros I'd like to exchange (since I won't be making any European trips for a while and could do with the money.) Does anyone know the best place to change it? The banks? I got robbed blind changing money in Toronto and don't want to repeat that...
Thank you for any suggestions! Jitka |

If you've moved to Victoria, it would probably be best to do it at a branch of your new bank. However, I checked the Royal Bank's website and they say 1 EUR = 1.50 CAD today, while Custom House Currency exchange says 1 EUR = 1.52 CAD. Whether or not you'll get those rates when you actually get to the window is probably another story.
