Visit a Bank or Exchange
If you want to know the value of your U.S. dollars or Euros while you're at the airport, go to the international terminal and look for a currency exchange booth. They will have the latest rates for the world's main currencies (and many others) there.
If you want to convert your paper dollars to paper Euros, these exchanges can do that for you, too. You will pay a fee for this service, so ask in advance what it will be. U.S. News advises that airport currency exchanges are the worst place to exchange currencies because of poor exchange rates and high fees.
You can instead call your bank or credit union to find out if they provide this service. If they don't have Euros on hand, they might be able to order them for you if you give them some advance warning. Some banks will even have the currency delivered to you (for an extra fee).
