<B>Question?</B></h2>
<p><B>Are there other places besides a bank where I can change money?</B></p>
<p>There are usually money exchange offices at border crossings, large railroad stations, and airports. They're usually open beyond the regular hours of banks and savings banks, which is generally weekdays from 8:00 <emphasis role="Smallcaps">
<emphasis role="Smallcaps">A.M.</emphasis>
</emphasis> to 12:30 <emphasis role="Smallcaps">P.M.</emphasis> and then from 2:30 <emphasis role="Smallcaps">P.M.</emphasis> until 4:00 <emphasis role="Smallcaps">P.M.</emphasis> When looking for money exchange offices, watch for signs that say <B>Wechselstube</B> (VEX ell shtoo beh) or <B>Geldwechsel</B> (GHELT vex ell).</p>
