Where to change money in Rome?
Currently in Rome and I've got paper currency from various countries that I need to change for Euros. I went to Deutche Bank and was told that none of the banks in the neighborhood change cash anymore "for reasons of security." So I was wondering if anyone can recommend a place I can go, bank or otherwise, and get a good exchange rate? Thanks.

There are many places where you can change your money. Unfortunately ad you noticed, banks do not change it.
There is one money change, in Via Nazionale, 19 that is called "best&fast change", then even in Via del Corso, or near Termini train station you can find many.
I hope you'll find this information useful !

You can find cambios that will change bills - no coins - but they will generally give you a terrible rate of exchange. And often they will have a minimum fee - so if the amounts you have are small - I would consider them souvenirs.

LOL pocket change to keep as a souvenir or throw in the UNICEF envelope? The key word was "need." As in "need euros to pay the rent." Thanks for the tips about the bank and cambio, will check into them.

Igny, is there any reason you didn't start your own thread? (Click on "Start a new topic" on the upper left of this page.) An individual thread is more helpful for others who may come along later with the same or similar question.

Just wanted to follow up on this - I can reasonably conclude, after pounding the pavement across Rome, that changing cash in banks (including Banca di Roma) is a thing of the past. Ended up using the exchange place in Termini. My advice is to negotiate - the first offer they give you is not necessarily their best and final.

thanks for that, nutella.
there are many threads from people who are planning to bring currency, usually U$ to europe, and very often they find it difficult to accept the advice they are given here that they need to bring a debit card for use in the ATMs, rather than cash.
now we can quote you!
