She glanced nervously at the goblin before saying, "Um, I have $30 in American dollars that I'd like to exchange for, um, some galleons." She knew her Chicago accent stood out too much in this huge place. She blushed.

Way to work on your social skills, Gwen, she thought.

Gwen assumed the currency exchange goblin had fallen asleep. "Um, excuse me," she said loudly. "Goblin, er, um,"

Tex made her way onto her stool. She was distracted by a flier she had picked up in the goblin break room.

"Yes. Yes, of course." she said taking the money from the human child. She didn't sound like the normal ones. The girl must not have been from nearby.

The goblin inspected the money. American dollars. The human child must have been from there.

"Thirty American Dollars. That comes to 3 Galleons, 13 Sickles, and 27 Knuts." she said counting out the wizarding coins. She set them on the counter and then slid them across. She'd let the exchange fee slide because the girl had been waiting for her to get back from break.

"Thank you for choosing Gringotts." Not that they had much of a choice. Such were the perks of being the only trusted bank. "Come again soon."
