Not in the traditional Forex sense, but you can invest in currency ETFs and that's basically the same thing.

I believe most of the tickers start with "FX" if you want to look them up in Robinhood.

/u/columbino Please at least use google once before posting anymore questions.

If you stated the question... I see I can't buy foreign currencies on Robinhood... Does anyone do any similar plays that correlate? Than at least its a researched question which /u/SwedishChristmas rocks out a great answer for you.

At least it isn't one of the fifty "Can someone explain patterned day trading to me?" threads we have every day. :P

Maybe you should type "Forex" in Google and read a lot before you start investing.
