Get with the times, Evansville!

Evansville is a decently large city...not huge, but definitely not a small town. We've got businesses here, and I dare say there are at least a few people who fly to Europe to do business. So...where do these people get their currency exchanged???? I went to the main offices of every major bank in town, only to be told I'd have to fill out a very shady looking form and stick my cash in the mail to get Euros. I was always taught never to mail cash, but maybe that's just me.

Old National seems to have had the best deal, but you have to be a member of the bank to use their exchange program. They just deduct it out of your account. My bank doesn't do that. I suppose I could change my money over at the airport in Philly...it's an international airport, surely they'll have a place where I can do that.

One lady suggested I check out a travel agency, so I'll start scouring the internet, seeing what I can find. Although...I'm sure you get terrible exchange rates there...Not that I care too much at this point...I just need money for my taxi ride, and maybe some lunch when I get into Dublin.
