I know they are sri lankan rupees but is it a closed currency? I tried to order some on the thomas cook website and it only comes up with us$ as an option.

I went Sri Lanka in June. It was easy to exchange stirling, I also took some dollars just in case.
Have a great holiday, we certainly did.0 -
Sterling is probably better in Sri Lanka than dollars (Commonwealth country etc).
Take some cash to change.
And take a couple of debit card to get money from the plethora of cashpoints and banks.0
