Which is the best place to get hold of US dollars(Notes) ?, considering the exchange rates & comission charges?
Thanx in advance

America..... or failing that, the Post Office. I think they have no commission charges, but exchange rates are the same everywhere aren`t they?

Expect the worst and you won`t be disappointed!

I have found NatWest to be good on that front, even better is you are advantage gold customer (I am not AG customer).

Post Office is definately the best place to get the money. Note : Exchange rates are not the same everywhere, lots of places offer `commission free` money, but give you less $ to your £ to make up for it. It may be worth checking your own bank as well, as they often do comission free for account holders, but that said I have always found the post office offer a better rate than them anyway!

Yes, the good old Post Office. They will buy back unused currency without charging commission, (at least that was the score earlier this year).
