On Thursday, June 6, McDonald’s hosts International Currency Exchange, an unprecedented event created to celebrate McDonald’s U.S. debut of four of its international menu items. From 2–5 p.m., customers can exchange any amount of foreign currency for one craveable Worldwide Favorites menu item* at participating McDonald’s. Here’s how it works:

  • Start rummaging under those couch cushions and check last year’s suitcases to pull together any of that spare foreign currency you may have lying around.
  • Only finding U.S. coins in your pockets? Exchange them for some foreign currency at your local currency exchange retailer so you can get in on the fun!
  • Head around the corner to the nearest participating McDonald’s on Thursday, June 6 between 2:00-5:00 PM for McDonald’s International Currency Exchange.
  • Give your foreign currency of any value to the front counter of your local McDonald’s, and receive one of the Worldwide Favorites menu items* of your choice. Enjoy the international experience of deliciously epic proportions – without the jetlag.
