Dollar Travellers Cheques

In terms of exchange rates, $$ TCs are usually marginally (and I mean marginally - a few thousandths of a cent) cheaper than buying cash here in the same outlet.

In terms of spendability in the US - they are widely accepted as cash but you can't 100% rely on it. Some places won't take them - surprising places sometimes. I recall on a trip some time back that a factory mall shop wouldn't.

Agreed - tried using some in Borders in SF last month, they don't take them any more.

Phatbear, What a pilluc you are, go back to school if you don't understand the question.

Traveller's cheques are a wise move if you are planning ahead, the dollar rate is forecast to be $1.45 = £1 by January.
