How do No Maj borns get Wizarding money?

You just head to the nearest branch of Gringotts' and ask the goblins to exchange your dollars for Dragots. It's as simple as that!

Thanks for asking!

I have figured out how American wizard money transfers to American money

So today, I was thinking about something: I know how much galleons, sickles, and knuts are worth in American dollars, but not the American wizarding currency. So, I found the two instances that it was used in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie. One, when it is said that a magazine is worth 23 Sprinks, and the second time is on a newspaper, where information on a murderer is rewarded by 3,500 dragots.

So if a magazine is worth 23 Sprinks, and magazines in 1926 were worth about 25 cents, I can probably assume that the Sprink is worth around $0.01 in US currency. So that was easy.

Next, the information on the wanted criminal. Information on a wanted murderer in the 1920s was rewarded with about $5,000 at the time. So we can safely deduce that 3,500 dragots is worth around $5,000. So, divide it, and you get that 1 Dragot is worth about $1.50.

So,

1 Dragot = $1.50,

1/2 Dragot = $0.75,

1/4 Dragot = $0.38, and

1 Sprink = $0.01

There's 150 Sprinks in 1 Dragot.
