Which NYC banks have the best rates for depositing foreign currency?

[AsherO]

I have some obscure foreign currencies I'd like to deposit, but I don't want to get ripped off with transaction fees and/or lousy conversation rates.

Anyone know where I should try to deposit?

When depositing a $10k CAD check BOA gave me a much better rate then chase would have.

Is there any bank account that would give the exsact rate for the euro ? Maybe citi gold or some other elite account ?

Thats a horrible rate. There gotta be something around.  Citi gold etc.. (maybe usaa they wave everything !)

Thanks all for your your responses/ideas.

Better isn't quite good enough, I don't trust bofa... (besides the fact, they A/A'd my checking account).

That's serious ripoff, the airport guys might even be cheaper

Still too pricey for me. XE.com tells me my foreign currency is worth $1587, TD offered $1471 + $10 fee for TD customers: same rate, ($7.50 fee), still almost 8%.

With the dollar as strong as it is (on XE charts), I think I'll hold onto the foreign currency for now.
