Yes. For at the very minimum, they will exchange USD to PLN, then from PLN to EUR. However, the exchange rates probably aren't that favorable. But why is it that you want to exchange Dollars for Euros there in Poland?

hey there,
definitely you can, but why would you do that?

Unless you have piles of Ben Franklins it is much more convenient to bring your ATM/debit card and withdraw cash in PL (PLN) and EURO zone (EUR).

One important tip - NEVER change your money anywhere close to airports/train stations. Yeah, seems obvious but I did that month ago. ME STUPID.

let me know!

ps. sorry for Hawks not making it last weekend - my SEA friends are in mourning

http://www.kantorwarszawa.pl/ will give you 878 euros for 1000 USD today (at least if they operate with 1 or 2 euro coins, otherwise you'll get a few zloty in change). Midmarket rate is currently 881. I don't speak or read Polish so there might be a catch.

Today it's 868/1000$ ($ buying rate[kupno]/ selling rate [sprzedaz]) The rates are wholesale rates and it seems are valid for sums over 1000

Usually they will go USD->PLN->EUR but you can ask a few kantors before you exchange what you would get.
