Hobart's Most Trusted Foreign Exchange
Most trips out of Hobart connect through Melbourne, where airport exchange counters charge the most. Sort your travel money in the city first, at our Cat and Fiddle Arcade store on Murray Street. US dollars, euros, or something most exchanges make you order in, it's usually in stock. No fee either way.

Why Exchange in Person
Cash in your hand today
No three-day wait. No card in the post. Walk in, exchange, and leave with your notes in the denominations you asked for.
Expert advice, no guesswork
Our team works with foreign cash every day. Ask about a currency, a rate, or where it's worth carrying small notes, and you'll get a straight answer before you travel.
Protection from online scams
Fake exchange sites can look just like the real thing, and they ask for your bank details. Exchanging in person takes that risk off the table.
Genuine notes, every time
You walk out with real banknotes, checked and in good condition, ready to spend the moment you land.
Better value than the airport
Airport exchange counters advertise a rate, then take a margin and a fee once you're through. Crown adds neither.
