*change* + preposition (was: change > change out)

[Peter A. McGraw]

Well, I "change money" frequently whenever I travel abroad.  Though I
usually avoid patronizing the shadowy characters who accost tourists in
some countries saying, "Change money?  Change money?"  I never heard a
black marketeer offer to "exchange money" or "change up money."  (But then,
what do they know?)
