| Because not all South Dakota banks are able to exchange foreign currency, travelers might want to exchange their money at major gateway airports (cities like Denver or Minneapolis). | |
| Make sure your staff is familiar with the AT&T Language Line (800-528-5888). It's an excellent way to access interpreters for more than 140 languages 24 hours a day. | |
