Can と、に sometimes be Interchanged in a sentence? 彼は円をドルに/と両替した。


> 彼は円をドルに両替した。  
>  He exchanged yen for dollars.  
>  彼は円をドルと交換した。  
>  He exchanged yen for dollars.

I am not sure I understand why in one sentence に is used yet in the second
sentence と is used. Could と and に be used interchangeably in this situation?
Would the meaning be slightly different?




In cases like this they are sometimes interchangeable, but are also often
idiomatically used with certain verbs (a collocation).

Think of に as Ａ→Ｂ and と as Ａ↔Ｂ:

> 円をドルに両替した。  
>  Change yen into dollars. (I give you yen, I get dollars)  
>  円をドルと交換した。  
>  Exchange yen for dollars (I give you yen, you give me dollars).
