I've searched all over Tucson and can't find one local, which is why I am considering ordering online. We do have a lengthy layover at LAX before our flight to Sydney, but it will be Easter Sunday and it will be questionable whether we can arrive before they close at 1:00pm but they were actually more expensive for currency than ordering it online.
So many local banks have stopped working in foreign currency exchange.
