[via PDK]   Question:  Will we have immediate access to our funds?  MarkZ:  I am told that if you exchange through the redemption center/redeeming banks you will get instant access. But, if you go to a regular bank…and they send your currency off…it will take a couple of days. A redemption center is the same as a redeeming bank with a branch or office that the staff has been trained to exchange foreign currency and detect counterfeit etc…its a real bank that can process your currency right there. It will be a fairly simple process.
