Melbourne's Most Trusted Foreign Exchange
Crown has changed money in Melbourne for more than 20 years. There's a counter on Elizabeth Street in the CBD, a kiosk at Midtown, and stores out through Ringwood, Preston, Knox and Werribee. Euros for the northern summer. Rupiah for Bali. Yen for the ski season in Japan. Buy before you go, sell what's left when you're back. No fee either way.
The Short Version
- 14 Crown stores across Melbourne, most open seven days a week.
- No commission and no fees on any transaction.
- Euros, Japanese Yen, Indonesian Rupiah and 60+ more in stock.
- Live rates, updated through the trading day. We match any same-day quote from a legitimate competitor.
- Cash in hand at the counter. No ordering ahead for most currencies.
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.
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
Counters at Melbourne Airport advertise a rate, then take a margin and a fee once you're through. Crown adds neither.

Melbourne Travel Money Tips
1
Sort it before Tullamarine
The exchange counters at Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine) carry the usual markup. Get your cash on Elizabeth Street or at your local store first.
2
Buy before you fly, sell when you're back
Exchange in the city and you keep more than you would at the gate. Bring the leftovers to any store when you land.
3
Empty the coin jar for charity
We don't exchange coins. We do collect them for overseas charities. Tip the travel jar into ours on the way past.
Sorted Before Take-Off
Find your nearest Melbourne store and pick up your cash before you fly.
FAQs
What currencies are available for exchange?

We also carry a wide range of less common currencies — if you're heading somewhere off the beaten track, chances are we have what you need. Stock is always available in-store with no advance order required for most currencies.
Do you have any minimum or maximum transaction limits?
There are no minimum or maximum transaction limits at Crown Currency Exchange. Whether you need a small amount for a weekend trip or a large sum for an extended holiday, we can help. The only thing we don't exchange is coins — but we do collect them for our charity partners, so feel free to bring them in.
Do you charge any commission or fees?
No, we don't charge any commission or fees on any of our foreign currency transactions. We operate on a simple retail model, just like your local supermarket, we buy from the wholesaler, add a small margin and sell to our customers. What you see is what you get. No hidden charges, no surprises.

We have 65+ locations across Australia, most open seven days a week. Hours vary by store. Scroll up and use the store locator to find your nearest Melbourne store and confirm trading hours.
