Fine:
Society says it's perfectly acceptable to EXCHANGE MONEY on Friday
evenings,
Sundays, etc. Nothing Wrong about it.

Yet, jews would consider Friday night MONEY EXCHANGING to be Wrong.
Christians would consider Sunday MONEY EXCHANGING to be wrong.


Catholics are not supposed to perform servile work on Sunday. You can
exchange money by using your church envelope.

Originally the work done by serfs from which they were freed on Sundays
and holy days in order to worship God. Until recently, servile work,
forbidden on Sundays, was work that was chiefly physical. At present
servile work is heavy manual labor, or such work as in a given society
people commonly associate with strenuous effort and do not engage in
when they have the freedom to avoid it. Implicit in the Church's
prohibition of servile work on Sundays is fidelity to the divine
commandment to keep holy the Sabbath. This means avoiding activities
that would hinder renewal of soul and body, i.e., needless work or
business, unnecessary shopping or housekeeping.
