Exchange Rates

[Simon Veness]

The pound/dollar exchange rate is obviously a key part of any holiday to the USA, and it is currently pushing $2 to the pound, which would be a major landmark in currency terms. We tend to use a very handy website for the best tourist rates - comparetravelmoney.co.uk - but what other companies have you found for your all-important spending money?

Another handy site is oanda.com, where the daily rate is easy to see (and calculate).

We tend to always get our currency from M&S as their rate is usually better than most other places :D
