<prompt> Human: Im planning on travelling in December to South East Asia. Since the market went through a heck of a lot of turbulence yesterday and today, is it a good idea to exchange for dollars now as opposed to later? Edit: My apologies. I am talking specifically about exchanging Bangladeshi Taka to USD. Props to utariqabjotu. You and I share a first name outside of reddit my dude!  <response>: For one thing, we dont even know what currency you have. And which dollars you are talking about. But either way, you have no idea what the market will do before December. And you may also lose money on the cost of exchanging cash, which could be cheaper in your destination or cheaper at an ATM.
